"Life is different in that I am happy to have built an iron sheet roofed house, because it has become difficult to find roofing grass every year, the bulls bought ease the work of ploughing gardens without spending money that would been the case when hiring oxen. Those were my major issues before I enrolled to receive these transfers. "

"The biggest hardship I face currently in my family is shortage of food. I soley depend on farming which is so seasonal and not reliable due to changing climates. This has affected my family wellbeing since I can not afford what is essential for their livelihood."

"The biggest hardship I face currently is lack of money . My spouse borrowed money from a friend for buying a peice of land and is a big stressing factor in my family . We have sleepless nights since the owner needs it."

"The biggest hardship that I am faced with is lack of oxen. Since I don't have my own to support in farming, I am forced to wait until I can hire. Some times I wait so much that even when I plant, I am not able to get good yields hence food shortage."

"The biggest hardship I have faced is lack of money to cater for the household's basic needs like medical care, good, utilities and many other necessities."

"The biggest hardship that I am faced with is poverty. Being a single parent, I have the responsibility of taking care of all my household needs as an individual and yet there is no clear source of income. The little that I am able to earn from whatever small work that I engage in is spent on providing atleast basic needs for the family. This leaves me with nothing to save hence poverty. "

"When I receive this money, I will build an ironsheets house because thatching grass is being consumed by termites. I have spent the little money I get on replacing grass on my house. I will also buy some oxen and an ox-plough to ease agricultural practices. Previously I have been hiring ploughing services but with these transfers, I will be able to save that money and also make more money because I will hire it out once in a while. If there is some balance, I will also buy household items like beddings, furniture and cooking utensils."

"The biggest hardship that I am faced with is inadequacy of land for cultivation. I have only every small piece of land in which I can not plant all that is necessary to support a family. At the end, food shortage and poverty which I have always lived in. "

"My dream as a parent is to see my children live better lives than the one I have had to endure. What better way to do it than through education! I will therefore, invest heavily in my two children's education by buying assets such as livestock that I can sell whenever need demands. I will also build a better house with an iron sheets roof top so that my husband and I can retire decently. "

"Through this support, we were able to acquire a new motorbike that does transport business. My family needs like food and medical bills have been met in time because the bike generates daily income. Previously, we didn't have a stable source of income as a young family, feeding and paying medical bills was a challenge to us."
