"I am a happy person to have received these transfers. I will use this money to buy things that I need such as food and beddings. I want to buy a matress because I have never had an opportunity to buy a matress. I will also use this money to buy iron sheets because the grass that I use to thatch my roof is now scarce."

"I was at home feeding livestock when I heard a message alert on my phone. I decided to read and know its contents and my heart was filled with joy on seeing the Mpesa message. My wife was over the moon as she sang while dancing when I informed her of the good news. This money gave us hope that our dream of building a spacious house would soon be achieved."

"I would be happy to receive this money because I would use the money to build another house. I have always wanted a brick house with iron sheets. After building the house if any money is left I would use it to buy mattress. I have a bed without mattress so it is very uncomfortable sleeping on such a place."
