"I am happy because i will manage to buy what i dont have and i have been lacking in my house.my dream is to buy land of my own."

"The biggest challenge that I am currently facing is lack of food , I have a lot of children my husband lives in South Africa"

"Receiving this money means a permanent house for my family. I am currently living in a small house which is leaking during rainy season. I am planning to spend KES 30,000 to construct a better one that is decent. The remaining amount will use it to purchase a second hand motorbike that will help me to transport charcoal to my customers as well as start livestock farming. As they multiply I will sell at a profit and use the proceeds to buy food and other basic needs."

"Receiving this money will be a blessing to because I have always wanted to build a house and this is a blessing I never expected. My old house has cracks and no windows and I fear that with the rainy season I fear the worst but with this program and transfer I will be able to build a better house"

"I am a business woman running a retail shop here at our small town and it was very much affected during the covid 19 because of low sales during that time. I depend entirely on this business both for my domestic and commercial needs. Receiving this money means I will add more stock to my shop so that I get more profit.I am currently getting a profit of 2000 KES per month because I am running it with a capital of KES 25,000 KES. I will use my transfers to add more stock to my shop and I believe I will be making a profit of 5,000 KES per month."

"Hunger is the biggest challenge in my house. I depend on charcoal burning business which is straneous and the income I get from this business is inadequate to sustain the needs of my house. My children are sent home from school very frequently because I cannot pay the school fees for all of them ontime. My children are weak and I suspect they may be suffering from a malnutrition disease because I feed them one kind of a meal each and every day (ugali with dried fish)."

"The challenges that I am currently facing are shortage of food because I rely on farming for me to be able to provide food for my family. I was only able to harvest six bags because I could not afford fertilizer which has sustained my family until October."

"I have a small house which cannot accommodate all of us . I am a widow with 7 children who are still very young and in their primary school level. Paying my children's school fees is a burden to me because I depend on a small business of selling firewood to the nearest tea kiosk. Receiving this money means I will build another 1 bedroom house for my 5 male children so that they sleep alone in their house, and I remain sleeping with the 2 female ones in my house. I will set aside 20,000 KES to buy food for my family, pay my children school fees of 17,000 KES and live happly because my children will enjoy their studies without any interruption of being sent home frequently from school for sometime."
