"I am a young single mother of one child. Receiving this money will help me become fully independent aside from my 7 siblings. I will build another house and leave the current one to my younger siblings. I intend to build a two roomed house at a cost of Ksh. 20,000. I will also start goat rearing to help me support my daughter and cater for other needs like her education in future. I will start by buying 4 goats at a cost of 15,000 Kenya Shillings."

"With being as old as I am, it is pretty hard to do all the necessary farm work to ensure good harvests. In the end I need money to pay people to do such for me. Money I don't often have. So I usually have less than enough food in the house."

"I would like to express my gratitude for being considered in this program. This means a lot to me. I struggle a lot to feed myself and most of the times, I depend on my children. I am grateful because the money will help me in buying my basic needs. I also plan to buy beddings and bags of maize for food processing."

"Life is good now, i am sleeping on a matress and I will have enough food because when food is finished i will be able to buy extra"

"I haven't seen a difference yet because I don't know if the transfer will be enough to buy all materials for the roof."

"Our everyday lives is going to improve because we will able to accomplish our dream of building a new decent house."

"The biggest difference is that I will be able able to build a house from scratch, a thing that on my own I could never have managed. Also, the issue of hunger in my house has come to an end as we have enough food for everyone and everyone in the family is happy."

"The biggest difference is that in my household there is enough food for everyone..I also bought blankets thus we will be protected from the cold(winter season)"

"The moment I received my transfer I was very happy. I was so happy that I cried because receiving such a large amount of money was very strange for me because no one has every given me such big help. I prayed to God and thanked him because I knew that the money would change my home situation. My home now has enough food and better mattresses to sleep on because of the help I received from GD."

"I have spent my first money transfer from GD on a sofa set. I also bought a new mattress and lime to fix my house. I bought a sofa set because my house did not have any sofas. I used to have small chairs where we used to sit on which was not very comfortable. I also managed to buy a new mattress and gave my old mattress to my child because she did not have a mattress. Now my child also has a comfortable place to sleep on."
