"Currently, I am like living in a new world. I can't believe the life I am living. So much has changed. I have enough food for the year bought using the money I received. I have also managed to pay Escom bills which I couldn't have managed on my own. I am so grateful for this."

"I planned to use my first transfer on house improvement. I bought 10 bags of cement. My plan is to plaster my house and I will start tomorrow. I also hired some people who are moulding bricks. I want to build a fence at the back of my house. I also bought 2 bags of maize for food processing. I am planning to buy more food when I receive my second transfer. I have also saved part of the money which I will use to buy farm inputs such as fertilizer and seeds."

"The challenge that I am currently facing is unstable source of income. As I said that I invented in fish boats and nets which I rely to find money but the challenge is that the lake is now closed for fishing so that the fish breeding can happen. The lake was closed on 1st October and it will be opened in April. I have decided to start the grocery shop business so I can be able to have a stable source of income to be able to provide basic needs for the time that the lake is closed for fishing."

"The main challenge i am facing is lack of food. I am just a young man and i only married a few months ago. It is not easy to take care of a woman when you are not doing anything. I have to struggle to find food to make sure my wife does not stay without food."

"Receiving this money means I'll own a dairy cow that will be a source of income. Since 2016, I have never had the privilege of having a dairy cow. For the last 4 years, I buy milk from my neighbors which has been a challenge to my family. Being jobless and depending only on my husband who earns KES 250 a day for everything is the worst experience. I plan to buy two dairy cows worth KES 40,000 each. One cow will produce around 8 liters of milk daily, meaning at the end of the day I will have 16 liters of milk. If I sell the milk ill get KES 640 a day meaning ill have enough money to support my husband and improve our living standards. The remaining amount I will use on foodstuffs, clothing, and beddings."

"The main challenge i face is lack of food. I did not harvest enough last year because i did not apply fertilizer to the maize garden. A single bag of fertilizer costs about k30000and this is too much for me to afford."

"The biggest hardship i am facing at the moment is lack of food. I usually eat twice during the day that is breakfast and supper. I can't manage to have breakfast because there is no food."

"One of my greatest wishes as a father is that my children get a good education so they can build good quality lives for themselves. So I spent KES 20,000 on paying school fees for three of my children. I work as a taxi driver to earn a living and my car had broken down. So I spent the remaining amount to get it fixed so that I can keep my business going."

"I was working on the farm when at 9.28 a.m, I received a message notification. I checked my phone and saw that I had received KES 55,000. My eyes could not believe it as I had never received such a huge amount of money."
