"Receiving this money means continued education for my children. This I plan to achieve through charcoal vending. I will spend KES 30000 to buy charcoal and hire a structure where I will be selling charcoal. In this business I am assured of getting a profit of KES 2000 per day. I intend to use the proceeds for school fees, uniforms, stationery, etc. I will further spend KES 30000 to buy 10 goats that will act as a long term investment project to my household. The rest of my transfer will cater for other household expenses like food and water."

"Receiving this money means a better house for my family to have a comfortable place to stay. I would love to build a house with burnt bricks and iron sheets. My house was destroyed with rains two years ago. At the moment, I stay in my brother's house which they gave us to seek shelter while we earn money so we can be able to build another house."
