"The biggest difference in my life daily life is that I am able to provide the basic needs for family like food without struggling. Previously, we were taking one meal per day and sometimes going to bed without any food. Seeing my children sleeping without eating kept me unhappy."

"I spent KES 18,000 to purchase one local cow dairy so that I may have enough milk supply for the family. Currently, I am required to purchase milk every day for my grandchildren for KES 50. With the daily cow I will be able to sell the extra milk to the neighbors at KES 50 per litre to earn an income. In addition, I am planning to sell the male offspring once they reproduce to educate my 2 grandchildren. Furthermore, I invested KES 20,000 on starting a small charcoal vending and dry fish business. This is a reliable source of income for the family. Currently, I am earning a profit of KES 500 per day which is enough to cater to the daily basic needs likes food. Previously, I was doing casual labor of charcoal burning which is very tiresome and low-paying. Moreover, I purchase proper beddings for KES 9,000 this is because I was using sleeping on the floor with old mats as bedding which was not comfortable. I was constantly feeling backache after waking up, something that affected my days performance negatively. I also, use the remaining amount to educate my 2 grandchildren whom were left under my care by my daughter opted to return home after facing an abusive relationship in the first marriage. She later decided to remarry living me with the two grandchildren to take care."

"For over 5 years, I had been living and farming in communal land where I lack the right of ownership. In addition, often dispute arise over the ownership of piece of land. I have desired to purchase my piece of land to avoid the clashes with our neighbours but I lacked the finances. After receiving my transfer, I spent KES 30,000 to acquire 2 acres of land for the family. Furthermore, I used KES 15000 to purchase a solar panel for lighting my house as well as using it to charge neighbours' phones at a fee of KES 20 per phone. Previously, I was using the spotlight to light my house which provides less light and was relatively costly because I had to buy dry cells every day. The remaining amount assisted me to purchase enough for the family, we have been going to bed without food due to the famine that had struck our area for a year now."

"I waill buil a house for I amd my children."

"He's alone, he doesn't have anyone to help him do to his farming work and to take care of him in terms of cooking, so he find it hard to do everything for himself."

"The first plan I have to do with the cash transfer is to build a house for my children for future use. If there is a balance left, I will also pay my children tuition with it."

"This recipient said that when he received this transfer, he will do business with the money to substained he and his family,he will also build his house, because where he lives is his grandmother house, and he will also educate his children, because they are not yet going to school."

"My current priority as a household head is to educate my children that are in the city going to school. If I am qualify to receive this cash transfer, I will use it to pay my children school fees."

"it was 10 AM when I was doing laundry then I heard a message tone from my mobile phone. Since I was not expecting to hear from anyone, I decided to proceed with the task I was handling. Before I could finish, I heard another vibration which made me curious ad decided to check the content. I did not be; I've what I saw, it was an Mpesa message from the Segovia Technology, I had finally recived my transfers. Due to the excitement that I had, I remember having to leave the cleaning and called all my family members so that I could share the great news."

"I was preparing breakfast at around 8M when I was preparing breakfast for my children when I heard loud vibrations from my phone. Since I was busy and illiterate at the same time, I asked for a hand in help from one of my daughters. Upon checking, she confirmed that it was an Mpesa that I have eagerly been waiting for. I was very excited and after notifying all my family members, we decided to hold a specific prayer to thank our Lord for the huge blessings."
