"Receiving this money means changing the appearance of my house. I have been living in an old and worn-out mud house for several years. I have gotten tired of regularly smearing the walls with mud since during rainy days they get affected. I intend to use KES 50000 to cater for timber, wood, labour, and other expenses to realize this. By doing this, I will not be tiring on previous frequent repairs of the mud walls. For the remaining balance, I intend to pay for the school fees of my last born who is in secondary school."

"As at now that we are living in a house that lacks windows and doors and even the roof is half constructed, and this makes it easy for snakes, mosquitoes to come in easily and it's putting our lives in danger.because my babies can easily be infected with Malaria or even risk getting bitten by snakes. We also lack beddings, no bed or mattress so I have to sleep on hard surfaces so on cold days it's so tough for us, so this transfer just came in at the right time."

"My biggest challenge is lack of water in our area, we don't have rains so we live in unhygienic conditions. We have to walk long distances to get water which is sold at 10 bob per jerrican and everyday I use 5 jerricans the minimum, for cooking, washing dishes, washing clothes and even bathing; so most times I even lack the money to purchase and I have to stay without water or lend from neighbors. I have a newborn baby who needs total cleanliness and sometimes I can't even wash him or even his clothes which can make him be infected with diseases."
