"Receiving this money means Clean water for drinking in my house. For the last 7 years, I have been fetching water from the chepkulon River, the river is far from the homestead, about 5 kilometers. Apart from the distance, the water is not clean for drinking since a lot of people have been affected by many diseases in the area. I plan to purchase a water tank of 10,000 liters worth of KES 70,000. The remaining I will use to build a kitchen since the one I have is old and almost collapsing."

"Receiving this money means that I will achieve income stability. My plan is building rental houses just next to Palakumi secondary school. My target is school going children and this means that every month I will be earning from the houses once I complete them. My budget is KES 80,000 for four rooms. Once complete, one room will earn me KES 1,000 monthly."

"Life is a struggle. I have alot of challenges that I would like to accomplish. I am a peasant farmer as well as engaging myself in casual work. There is alot of uncertainty in doing casual work ,no one can be sure that it will be available the next day therefore it is not sustainable. It is for this reason that I have longed to do an economic activity that can do well and sustain me and my family. Dairy farming does well in our place,it is also a venture that I can do well. My plan is to use the transfers to purchase 3 dairy cows worth KES 60000. I project to be able to produce upto 10 litres of milk say after one year. A litre sells at KES 40,so it means I will be earning an income of KES 400 per day. A paradigm shift from what I get at the moment. I intend to use the rest of the money to plant beans in my farm."

"It was morning hours and I had gone to the hospital for a medical checkup since I was not feeling well when I heard my phone which was inside my handbag ringing. I stopped to check and I could not believe what I saw. I called unto my husband with a lot of excitement telling him that the money we had been waiting for had arrived. He was so happy to hear this and promised that we would celebrate as a family when I get back home."

"Receiving this money means shelter for my family of 11 members. I have been living in a small house whose roofing is made of grasses. This has stressed me because I have to renovate it after every 9 months. After all, the grass does not last for a long time when it is rained on. My ambition has been to build a semi-permanent house that will be a solution to my problem. I am planning to spend 80,000 KES to construct it. This will enable us to live a comfortable life and I will be able to concentrate on other this. In addition, I will spend the remaining part of the transfer to invest in livestock farming which will generate income for my family in the future."

"Financial Crisis is the biggest challenge that I am currently facing. This has been made worse by the current drought that has made food and water very expensive. The little I get from my charcoal work cannot fully support all my family expenses. I have a daughter in school, paying school fees is now a problem."

"This money is of great importance to me and i thank GD for showing up. I will mostly use these funds to rebuild my house because I've always wanted to live in a descent house"

"Receiving this money means a good house for my family. My house is small, grass-thatched and the walls are almost falling off. I will use KES 55000 to build a better house with two rooms and an iron sheets roof. I will further spend KES 30000 to start a grocery that will act as a source of income for my household."

"The biggest challenge that I have been facing since my adulthood is my inability to conceive. I have yearned to get a child because I find no value in struggling to amass wealth yet no one will use and inherit them. Also, I feel that there is no continuity in my life once I die. Though I am staying with my niece, I feel I am not complete and safe. These worries and fears have attracted adverse consequences. For instance, I developed high blood pressure in the year 2016, and I am still under medication for the same."

"I am a motorbike rider offering taxi services in my locality to gain some income for sustaining my family. Since I have never afforded to buy a motorcycle(I am contracted by the owner), receipt of this money means that I will be able to purchase one. Currently, most of the income (60%) goes to the owner, hence, I cannot attain my financial targets. The average daily income from the business is about KES 500. So, I will use all the transfers on acquiring a brand new motorbike that costs slightly above KES 100000. In case some amount remains, we shall use it to seek professional medication for my wife who cannot conceive."
