"The "Makuti" grass-thatched house I live in is in poor shape. I built the house with very flimsy poles. In the event of a severe downpour, I worry that the house will collapse because it is leaning to one side. My new objective for this year is to purchase 24 pieces of iron sheeting with the funds from my transfers. This will assist me in getting ready to build a larger, more roomy house for my family. I can't fully support myself while building a new house because my on and off jobs pay very little hence I am unable to save enough towards building a new house."

"This year I have the intention of investing on my farm, especially since after I got enrolled in the program I have so far acquired two goats and two hens. Therefore, I would love to acquire more animals and poultry as well. I also intend on using the amount I receive to continue paying for my child's tuition fee, because that is important to me as well. Last but not least, I hope to open a business before the end of the year, preferably a grocery store, in order to better sustain myself with the profits I make."

"I would like to have constructed a new home for my family over the course of the year. My "Makuti" house's tiny roof is made of grass and is in poor shape; it's almost falling off. I worry that while I am in bed with my kids, the house will collapse due to the severe roof leak. I want to save enough cash to buy iron sheets, construct poles, and pay labor costs. I will be able to fit all of my family members in my two-room home with a veranda."

"Giving us transfers in half other than all at once was a good plan, a lot of us would have done so little if it was given in lump sum because we are not familiar with having a lot of money at once. I have personally learnt financial responsibility and management though this because I felt accountable for every coin."

"I am quite happy that this year I do not have to worry about paying for tuition because, using the funds that I received, I settled all the debts I had when it comes to my son's education. Therefore, I plan on using the funds that I receive this time around to build a proper house for me and my family because the one I live in is made from mud and is grass thatched as well. I am hoping to save some money with the transfers and begin gradually buying building material, beginning with iron sheets. Nutrition has also been an occasional challenge due to the drought, and my hope is that these funds will allow me to ensure that my family and I never have to go hungry as we have in the past. Lastly, I would also love to buy a couple of farm animals as an investment."

"I am planning to build a new spacious house in the coming year and also buy goats. My current house is very small and I have to squeeze my items in order to get some space. I am planning to start buying some of the building materials as months go by until I have enough to start the construction. I am also planning to invest in livestock such as goats since they are the only assets I can manage to have. I believe when they reproduce and increase in number, I can readily sell them to cater for my financial needs."
