"I spent part of my transfer on buying some building materials which include, iron sheets, building poles, and nails. This was purposely for the completion of my house which I was initially constructing and I did not have enough money to purchase the remaining materials. I later bought a second-hand motorbike specifically for business. I used the remaining amount of money in buying foodstuffs for my family."

"I spent part of my first transfer on buying a pair of oxen. Since I am a farmer I have always wanted to improve the scope of my farming. I have always been dreaming to purchase them but I was not in a position to afford them since they were very expensive. To add to that I bought some iron sheets and nails to finish constructing my house which I was constructing initially. I bought food and other household items using the rest of the transfers and I am happy that my children have enough food to eat."

"Living in a dicent house with enough food is what receiving this money means to me, the house that iam living in licks from rain and i can't provide enough food for my self and my children i would like to use this money to start a small business so i can make money and take care of my children"

"Having enough food for my family is what receiving this money means to me i would like to use the money to buy farm inputs so that i should be able to produce more and enough for my family, most of the times when my grandchildren have visited they don't stay long because there is no enough food for them and they fill like they are giving me pressure"

"So far the biggest hardship has been smoothly running this business I'm saying this because this is the only source of money that we have,and sometimes we find ourselves in a situation that we literally have nothing to eat and we end up using the money meant to order the grocery things this always drag the business down."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am living in a permanent house. Previously my house was in a poor state and I did not have any hopes of sleeping under a permanent house anytime soon. This is because of the poverty life that had stricken my household. The money that I was I was earning from the casual jibs was barely enough for the basic necessities, leave alone saving up to build a permanent house. The house has a leaky roof and holes were all over the walls and it was really tough especially during the winter seasons. I am now happy together with my family since we are currently sleeping under a spacious permanent house."

"I spent part of my firsts transfer on buying some building materials and such bricks and some pieces of iron sheets. I purchased all these purposely to renovate my pit latrine. Also, I cleared school fees arrears for my children who are in secondary school. I then boosted my business of selling chicken and shoes in the nearby town center. With the remaining amount of money, I bought enough foodstuffs for my family."

"My husband work as a labourer and sometimes he comes home with no any money for food because he hasn't found any jobs. Sometimes i and my husband we do sleep without eating anything because we want to feed the little food we have to our children."

"The biggest hardship that I face is that of food. I do not have a land to farm and as such I mainly depend on buying food for myself so money is hard to come by."

"Having have renvated mmy house makes the biggest difference in my daily life. Previously I used to sleep under a small grass-thatched muddy hut that leaked a lot whenever it rained. This was so stressing and whenever it could rain we used to stay awake till dawn. In addition this was really affecting my chlrens academic life because they were unable to do their assignments or even study at home. Most of the time they had to study at their friends home. I am now a happy parent because after renovating it, my children can no study peacifully without any difficuloltes. Also we no longer have to worry about the rains."
