"Receiving this money means everything to me and this is a blessing for my family and I. I have already made plans on how to spend the money. I will start with building a house, but better beddings and buy fertilizer. As you can see, my house is very poor so I will spend the money wisely"

I want to build a bigger decent house which can accommodate my family and when my relatives come they will have a place to spend a night. Every time my relatives come, I am forced to look for a shelter from neighbors to accommodate them  because we cannot spend in the same room. I will use ksh 50,000 to build the house and the rest of the money I will use on  buying beds, beddings and furniture for the new house."

"The biggest hardship I have ever faced is food insecurity.This is because I am a single mother of 4 Children and I rely on casual labor.Due to this, I have been finding it extremely difficult to put food on the table.Sometimes, I am forced to seek help from relatives who then speak negative about me and my children.This makes me feel like Iam not part of the community."

I am planning to spend $400 of my first transfer to start a kiosk that will act as my source of income and I will be assured of getting $5 per day. For the remaining amount of my first transfer, I will expand my house so that it will be spacious enough to accommodate my visitors. With my second transfer, it will help me to buy 10 goats that will act as my long-term investment project."
