"The house I built is the one that I spent most of my transfer on. I spent a total of KES26000, which included iron sheets that cost KES16000. I needed a house because before we used to sleep in a borrowed house which used to make me so sad and wish to get my own house which I would have freedom and authority over. Therefore, right now I have a house and our children will never have to sleep in a borrowed house, I am so grateful."

"Am so happy and overwhelmed cause I believe this transfer will help me and my household so much first and foremost I plan on renovating my old house I plan on painting and putting new glasses. With the remaining transfer I plan on adding capital to our family business we run a small shop that helps provide income"

"Receiving this money will help me change alot of things in life I plan on on expanding my kabaza (bicycle) business that will help me get more in come this will help in providing for my family after the program is done"

"Food and water scarcity is the biggest challenge that I am currently facing. This is due to the ravaging of the drought that we are experiencing in our area. I buy 10 of 20 liters jerricans of water per week that cost me KES 500. This is very costly for me since I have to buy food every day for my family. With most money spend on food and water paying school fees for my children is now a problem for me."

"Receiving this money will help me so much in life first and foremost I plan on using the transfer to finish my house I plan on buying doors and windows and I also plan on buying food cause that's one of the biggest challenges I meet in my day to day life lastly I plan on buying seeds to prepare for the rainy season"

"The challenge that I am currently facing is not having a stable source of income. My husband sometimes sells charcoal so we can be able to have food and other basic needs when casual jobs are scarce. It is a challenge because sometimes we usually just have one meal a day and it also affects my child education since we are not able to provide all the educational materials she needs."
