"Receiving this money will mean a lot to me because my households income is very little to sustain our needs. My husband works as a security guard in Nairobi and I plant and sell vegetables in the village. Collectively our income is not enough,but also because my husband barely provides for the household. I am left to use the little income I get to provide basic needs for my children. When I receive the transfer I will use it to buy some livestock,in particular a cow,2 goats and some chicken. I believe livestock farming is a good investment for the future because I can sell or get milk from them. I will also be selling eggs from the broiler chickens and my income will increase. I want to also build a small kitchen separate from the main house because I am forced to live with our 2 goats in the same house and it is mostly unsanitary when living with children in the house. I will also use some of the cash to furnish my house by buying beddings and cushions for the seats."

"The biggest hardship I have faced in life is taking care of five orphans while I was still a young family with kids to provide and care for too. The relatively little profits we used to attain from my small business could hardly sustain us. However, I thank God for enabling me to support them; they are now all adults. In fact one of them graduated from a local university and is seeking formal emplyment. Precisely, I think that we could have made significant developments as a family if not for the increased responsibilities and liabilities we had."
