"The small piece of land i currently live in belongs to my uncle who allowed me to build this house i live in after the demise of my parents 10 years ago. Receiving this money therefore will enable me to buy 1acre piece of land @ $400, build a three roomed iron roofed house @ $350 then buy sheep and goats using the remaining money which i will sell in future when they multiply to buy a motorbike for taxi business"

"My life is different in that, I have managed to complete paying school fees for my three children who are in secondary level. Secondly, I acquired more three cows to the one I already had. In the past, I depended on farming to get my children's fees and I could pay in instalments."

"My life is much better because I sleep well now on my bed which I purchased using my transfer as opposed to before when I slept on the floor. In addition, I also own a cow and a calf which I never owned before."

"My life has improved because I now own a cow and a bull which I never thought of owning. My ten months old baby can now drink milk oftenly. Previously, I could not buy a cow and milk everyday for him yet he stopped breastfeeding when he was just two months old. Secondly,I have got back my farm land which I had used as security this I have enough land to cultivate compared to when I cultivated in small piece of land."

"The biggest hardship faced is the financial related, in that I don't earn enough to be able to see my children complete their education. "

"My life and well being have improved alot. I acquired nice clothing for my family. We eat nice food and we are much healthier now. In the past,I could not afford nice household items. We were dressed in tattered clothes. Life was very miserable."

"My life has transformed alot eversince I received the cash transfers. I acquired household property within a shortest period of time. I would not have been in position to afford such items on my own. More so, I paid off debts that were breathing down my neck. Previously, a piece of farm land had been used to access a loan. I had to pay it off so as to repossess that farm land. This will boost my food supply in the future."

"My life is much peaceful compared to the past. I acquired oxen that have simplified farming. Previously, I had to hire oxen when I needed to plough my farm lands. Life is much better now and less stressful. "

"First and foremost, I am very happy that I sleep under a permanent house. This is a dream come true. I never had hopes of ever constructing a permanent house. Previously, my house was leaking and on the verge of collapsing on us. We had no financial strength to enable us maintain it. Secondly, I am happy that with the cash transfers I paid school fees. This issue of school fees used to stress us alot."

"My future is much brighter and predictable. The cash transfers have empowered my family. With the motorcycle that I bought, I am assured of earning daily income. Previously, I had to depend entirely on casual labour which was stressful and unproductive. Currently, I am a relaxed person and my home is at peace."
