"At the moment we do not own a cow, we are provided milk by our parents since we got married five years ago. We have always wished we could own a dairy cow that we could earn income through the selling of milk. I plan to purchase a cow worth approximately KES 40,000. For the rest of the amount, I will fence off my farm and subdivide it into paddocks to help in looking after this cow. Receiving this money, therefore, means I will increase my sources of income."

"I have been living in our area for more than 50 years but this place is unproductive with unreliable relief rainfall. I have been having a dream of buying a piece of land in Mtsara wa tsatsu location where sometimes there is plenty of rainfall and the soil is good. I can do mixed crop farming there because the soil is good and sometimes there is plenty of rainfall as compared to here. I will grow maize , cowpeas, beans , cassava and sweaty potatoes. Here in Migujini , the weather and soil can only allow maize farming and keeping livestock of which currently I have lost all my 25 cows because of the persisted drought since last year. Receiving this money means I will fulfill my dream of buying a piece of land in Mtsara wa tsatsu so that I can change the farming and have food security in my house."

"The biggest challenges that I am facing in my household is lack of food. This is because the money that I make is not enough. I am not able to save money for other projects because I spend all the money I make on food."

"Receiving has meant happiness for my family and I plan to maintain my house and build a fence around the house and also buying food."

"Currently, I do not meet a lot of challenges because I have a business that I run. The only challenge that I face is that I do not have enough business capital. I believe I will use this money to have a better business."

"The challenges we are currently facing is not having enough food. Since the lake is closed my husband does not sell enough to be able to afford enough food and there aren't enough piece works to be done to earn more money."

"I will use the money to build brick fence . I have already started moulding the bricks but due to lack of money the project stopped. I want my house to be in a fence because my house is along the road and with the business i do of selling alcohol i need a fence for protection"

"One of the the challenges that we are currently facing is no not finding enough money because since the lak season is closed it's hard to find enough piece works that can help me to afford enough food."

"I am a single mother blessed with five children. I normal weave baskets and ropes to earn an income, though a time I do casual jobs, I wanted a project that is sustainable and easy to manage, therefore I thought of starting a dairy cow project in which I used KES 30,000 in buying a cow, I then used KES 4500 in starting a poultry keeping project so that I would be able to earn extra cash from it. I am hopeful that with time I will be able to cut down on the cost of buying milk daily, lastly, I used the remaining part of the transfer in buying foodstuffs. I am grateful for the support that made me realize my dreams."

"I live in a poor house that looks like a kitchen,and i have been living in this house for a gpod number of years,when i received the transfer i thought of my porvety especially the poor house that i live in and i decided to build a house with the transfers. So i have bought bricks,iron sheet,wires,doors and W windows as house building materials though i haven't started with the actual house project,secondly i have invested in farming i bought 2 bags of fertiliser and five bags of maize for food."
