"The challenges that I faced now, is that I have inadequate food and other basic things for myself."

"Though, I did not get a chance to go to school, at my age of 53 years I still believe that education is power. My ambition has been to educate my last born to University level with a hope that she will pass and employed so that she can support as in future.Receiving this money means good education to my child who is secondary level. I am planning to spend KES 50,000 of the transfer to invest on livestock keeping. I will purchase 15 goats because they can survive in a dry area and also multiple very fast. I will sell them at a profit price and educate my child. Other than that, I will spend the remaining part of the transfer to seek proper medication from referral hospital because I have eye problem."

"I have been living a fearful life because the house we are currently in is almost collapsing. I worry that it can collapse anytime and harm us. My dream has been to construct a decent and spacious house for my family of 5 members but due to financial challenges, this desire has never come true. Receiving this transfer means fulfilling it. I am intending to spend KES 50,000 on construction so that my family can live a comfortable and carefree life. Additionally, I will invest the remaining amount in the business ( food kiosk) which is going to generate income for my family."

"Lack of money has made me continue doing very tiresome jobs even with my old age. I have no one who I can fully depend on. This leaves me with no other option. Charcoal burning leaves me with very serious body aches."

"For the past three years, my husband, my children and I have been living in a house that is in a very poor condition. The house is almost falling, it has no door. This has made us feel very insecure and unsafe to stay in this house. The house can be brought down incase of very strong winds. I intend to construct a new house at a total cost of 40,000 KES. A house that will be very safe to live in. A strong, good looking house will bring dignity to my family."

"Receiving this money means quality education for my children. I have 3 children and a Sister who are in school. I have been struggling a lot to pay for their school fee's since am the only one they are depending on. I was evicted from Mau forest in 2019 and my parents had passed on. I started from scratch and thing's have been very hard. My children have been send out of school several times even missing exams because of fees problem. When I receive the transfer, I will spend KES 60,000 on paying school fees for the children and clear the balance I owe the school. I will buy a dairy cow Worth KES 30,000, buy foodstuffs and clothing's for the family using the remaining amount."

"I think of this money and I see solutions to the challenges I have been encountering. I want to invest in livestock farming, buy a cow or two to assist in my farm work. I have an ongoing land case and this money may help with any bills I will need to sort. Lastly, educating my children is paramount. My last born son is still in high and my two daughters are in college. I will see to it that they all graduate and get stable jobs to support them."

"It will be a great relief for me. I currently do not have a source of income, it has been a struggle getting money for food and other basic needs. The little I get I pay school fees for my three children. My youngest son is in high school and my two daughters are in college. I will be able to buy food with ease and still support my children through school."

"My business currently is so down. For the past six years, my source of income has been from brewing wine. The current drought has affected my productivity and also people are not buying beer as they used to. Everyone keeps saying that the times are hard, but I have to keep working just to be able to feed my family."

"My household income is not very good. I am a stay-at-home mum. My husband takes up casual jobs on a day-to-day basis. With seven children to feed and send to school, we need all the financial help we can get."
