"I have looking after my neighbour's cattle for the last 14 years without having one of my own. Receiving this money means that I will be able to buy three dairy cattle for a total cost of 50,000 shillings and another 20,000 shillings to cater for their feeding program. For the remaining balance, I will use to construct a poultry unit for my existing chicken and maybe add some more."

"Receiving this money means a descent house for my family and proper education for my children. I'm planning to use 450 dollars to construct a two bedroom house for my family. This will guarantee my family a secure place to live and sleep at night. The roof will also protect my family especially during the rainy season. I'll further use 200 dollars to pay my children's school fees so that they can have enough study time in school. I'll use the balance to buy food and clothes for my family and this will give me the peace of mind I have always desired."
Agnes's family

Agnes received a $485 second payment.
"The transfer has changed my life because I would still be living in my old grass thatched house were it not for the transfers. I am currently sheltering in a new decent and iron roofed house because of the transfers. I managed to upgrade to a better house after many years of living in house that was small and in a bad shape. In addition to this, I am also owning a dairy cow which I am expecting it to reproduce and have many of them. I can readily sell the offsprings to cater for my children's education. This is an asset to me which I can readily rely on in case of a financial need. I will also be selling milk for an income."

"I have just started my family and my house is very tiny(one room). I plan to use 250 USD to build a two bedroom house. I will then use 300 USD to buy 10 goats and 1 cow. Livestock farming is a good venture since they multiply very fast. I will therefore be sorted in times of emergency since I will be having livestock sell. The cow will also be providing milk for us."
