"Receiving this money has meant great happiness for my family and I plan to build a bigger house for my family."

"I am happy to be receiving this money because it has come in time. It's almost cropping season so this money will help me buy seed and fertilizer. The other money will also be used to buy household utensils and food. My wife is pregnant so the money will also help in readiness for the baby."

"The lack of a stable source of income is a major problem for me. I am window relying on subsistence farming. I love education this is why I struggle to see my children in school. Paying school fee and meeting our daily household needs is so stressful to me with the scarce resource I have."

"First and foremost know that we are facing hunger and food shortage in this house, our children are suffering and this money will definitely help reduce those problems. I will also use this money to buy fertiliser as the rainy or rather planting season is fast approaching. Lastly this money means i will renovate my house because it leaks during the rainy season."

"I face several challenges such as lack of food. I am not happy too because ever since my husband passed on i haven't been able to find another man or husband."

"I will use this money accordingly for instance i will buy food for me and my child, this money also means that i will buy and afford a better sleeping place such as blankets and a wooden bed itself"

"The biggest challenge that I am currently facing is lack of food .The climate in the recent past has not been favourable for crop farming. My farm is where I depend on to get food. I have resorted to selling charcoal but with my age, the work is too physical that I do very little considering my age. I have one daughter and three grand children. We frequently skip meals due to it's scarcity."

"Currently I am in deep financial crisis, I don't have money to take care of my children as a result we are lacking basic needs such as food and others, ofcoz I am doing a small scale business but it's just not working for me"

"The money will help me enjoy my old age as I stay alone here without any help from anyone, as a result I struggle alot to feed myself."

"My current source of income is charcoal business because the rains have been gone for long. I have not been able to maximize profits because of transportation expenses. I will therefore use KES 30,000 of the transfers to purchase a second hand motorcycle that my husband will be operating so as to reduce the transport cost. I also have two children in secondary school who needs school fees for the next term amounting to KES 25,000."
