"Since my husband's job is part time work, on some days he does not get called and on these days we suffer since his job is the only source for food in this house."

"This money means alot, since i am old and divorced, the money will help me achieve things wouldnt on .y own. For instance, i am planning to build a bigger house so that i can accomodate some of my grandchildren. The house i am staying in is a bed seater. Suitable for a single person"

"I will use the money to buy food for my family, i will also buy bedding for my children"

"I will use the money to buid a new house. My house is too small and i need a bigger house. I have 3 kids and with my small house we can all fit there and because of this my 2 kids sleep at my mothers house."

"I felt very happy the moment I received the money because I only used to wish about doing the things I wanted especially getting my family a better and spacious house but couldn't anything because I did not have the means or money to do them. Therefore, getting this money made me feel so good and proud."

"The tough economic times has made me struggle a lot financially. This is because everything requires finances whereas I have no stable source of income. I depend on my husband who works away in town as a casual labourer earning KES 5,000 a month. This is barely enough since we buy food and water everyday together with other expenses. A 20 litre jerrican of water for example, costs KES 50. In a day, I sparingly use 3 jerricans. During the rainy seasons, life is a bit cheaper since food and water can be available in our farms."
