"There is a big difference in my life now, I and my wife started small businesses which are generating income to support the family. We also got back the land that was given out as security after paying a loan. We no longer offer casual labour and this makes us feel good."

"My life is better now, I am sleeping in an iron roofed house which I constructed with the transfers and on a comfortable bed. I am no longer in the stress of looking for thatch yearly for renovating the hut."

"My life is different than it would have been if I did not get the money because I have constructed an Iron roofed house and I own a cow. I will be relieved from sleeping in a hut with a leaky roof as soon as I move into my new house."

"The biggest hardship I face is lack of income generating activity. My house does not have items like utensils and proper beddings since I do not have money for purchasing. The family livingstandards are to ashaming within neighbourhood and this made us feel out of place."

"My life has improved in that, I built an iron roofed house and renovated my old one as well. Before, I slep in a dusty house which couldn't accomodate my family. But I'm glad that I managed to construct another which has improved my living standards."

"My life has greatly changed in that, I sleep in an iron roofed house. In the past, I found it costly to renovate the thatched house because the that thatch material is scarce."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will have cleared my son's school fees arrears. My plan is to save on a monthly basis so that I clear the balance. It will be my joy when my son performs well in his final examinations because he had humble time to study. I can only ensure this is done if I clear the balance in time."

"First and foremost sleeping has improved because I managed to buy mattresses and also my dress code has changed. In the past, I used to wear only two pairs of clothes and people could easily Identify me because of my attire. Secondly, I used to work on people's oxen in exchange to be ploughed for. This affected my cultivation because the owners could work on their gardens first then when the rains have stopped is when I'm given the oxen. Now that I have bought my own oxen, I can plough anytime I want since no one dictates on me and this will improve my yield because my crops shall receive enough rain."

"My life is different now in that, previously by this time I would have sold my rice harvest to pay school fees. Therefore this money has helped me a lot cater for school fees meaning that I have saved my rice for next year's fees. In addition to this, I managed to purchase new beddings especially a bigger bed and mattress plus bed cover which I did not have hopes of sleeping on. Lastly, the money I received especially the first one enabled me complete my commercial building that was faced by a stumbling block of cash and it had stayed at a rim beam level for so long."

"Currently I live a very happy life because this transfer enabled me construct a iron roofed house. Prior to getting this money, I used to sleep in a dilapidated house which was leaking and never gave me peace of mind. Secondly, I'm glad to see my grandchildren pursue education which will make them leaders of tomorrow and that brings joy into my heart."
