"Receiving this money means constructing a good house. This is because I lost my previous house to rainfall when it collapsed 2 years ago. I was then forced to live in the traditional hut that serves as a kitchen. I tried my best to build a house but I ended up building a small single room that cannot even accommodate my family. In this regard, my children sleep in their grandmother's house and I am not so comfortable with the situation."

"Receiving this money means a better shelter for my family. The motive behind this desire is the fact that I live in a single-roomed that is also leaking. It is this very small structure that serves as a bedroom and kitchen. Due to its size, it is very uncomfortable to live in since, it gets extremely hot and smokey especially after cooking. I tried to build a better one last year but I stopped halfway due to lack of money. I am planning to buy 20 pieces of iron sheets at the cost of 600 shillings each and 15 pieces of roofing frames at the cost of 400 shillings each, the remaining amount will cater for labour and food stuffs."

"I spent the transfer to bulid a chicken coup, bought maize and bought clothes for my children. I also bought more chicken to rear for commercial use."

"Iam very happy and i want to buy seeds"

"Receiving this money means a decent house for my family. I live in a grass thatched house together with my children and one grand child. Am planning to use 450 dollars to construct a descent house for my big family of seven."

"The biggest hardship in my life has been lack of money to cater for my children's school fees and also to buy food for my family. My children have been on and off from school because I lack the cash to pay their school fees."

"I offer PA (Public Address) system services and equipment at a fee to interested parties within my locality. Precisely, I rely on the same to earn a living. However, I am currently attaining relatively low income since I have to share whatever I attain with members of a group that we all co-own the equipment. Hence, receiving this money means that my family shall be earning more revenue from the same project because I will purchase all the necessary equipment, and operate independently."

"I have three kids who are still pursuing their studies. As such, receiving this money means that they shall all complete their grade 12 or even higher. As a widower, raising, feeding, and educating my children has been a challenge because I have no formal employment or any source of substantial income. I have sold all the livestock I had, hence, I will buy a cow that will mature and reproduce. So, I will get milk for sale and consumption as well as heifers that will be sold to get the needed school fees."

"My firstborn daughter started suffering from ulcers and muscle problems at a tender age. As such, we had to sell virtually everything we had acquired, including the only cow we had, to raise the needed medication funds. Though we thank God that she is currently healed, we feel that the ailment was the biggest setback in regards to our development."

"As a father and husband, the biggest hardship I have faced is that two of my daughters have not been married yet they have kids. This has made me feel like an irresponsible parent who could not develop them to become wife materials. Also, we are currently congested on our compound. As such, I am always evaluating myself and trying to figure out how I can help my daughters and their children since they all depend on me for food and accommodation."
