"I was so excited. I and together with my children we danced till it was dawn"

"Receiving this money means building a good house for my family. This is because we have been living in grass thatched houses all our lives and they keep on collapsing, since they cannot withstand strong winds and heavy rainfall. Our current house is equally damaged and its no longer safe for us. The mud walls are very weak and the roof is leaking, making it unbearable during rainy season. As if this is not enough, the house does not have a door making it easy for snakes to slither inside."

"When I got the message on my phone, I went to show my son as usual. He them told me that the cash has been transferred into my Airtel account. I was very happy but I couldn't dance or sing because I did not believe someone could give me money as a gift."

"I spent a bigger portion of my first transfer on buying a cow and two goats. Its been my desire to at least own these livestock because the casual jobs I do alone may not be enough to raise fees for my children. Having them is a saving because I will readily sell the offspring as they reproduce and increase in number. Through them , I am expecting to educate my children who are still in lower levels of education. I also bought a new mattress and replaced the old beddings I have been using. I spent the remaining amount to buy foodstuffs and clothing for my children."

"The recipient was so happy when she got the transfer cause she knew that her problems are over"

"The recipient used her transfer to buy fertilizer and household items like pots and alike.she so greatful cause her house was lacking alot she was able to buy food"

"Thanks to the transfer the recipient was able to buy fertilizerizer which she will use to grow her crops this will help her have enough food for her household"

"The recipient used her transfer to buy ironsheets to fix on her house, she was aslo able to buy food and other items she was lacking in her household"

"when i received the money i bought food, mattress, clothes and fertilizer. i bought these things because i was in need of these things but i could not afford them."

"It was in the morning, I saw that I have an SMS on my phone but I paid no attention. Then rumours hit me of people starting received money. I checked my balance and saw alot of money in my account. I jumped and screamed, I was cooking then and I lost appetite right away. It was crazy but I loved it."
