"I hope to raise enough cash so that I can be able to pay for school for my children once they transition to college. This has been my major challenge since I rely on casual jobs with poor wages. Therefore I believe that once I will get enough cash, it will be a relief for me. I have always been aspiring to see all my children go to school so that they can take good care of me as well as their families in the future."

"I spent part of my second transfer on buying iron sheets and timber which cost around $10200. These were for the renovation of my house since my family was growing and I felt there is a need to have a separate room for my two children. They have been seeking accommodation from their friends which they were not comfortable with since they were all teenagers. I was also worried since the friends did not have good morals and my kids might end up falling into the trap. I now feel happy and thankful because at last, I have been able to restore my children's dignity and joy in life. Also, I am planning to buy six goats which will serve as assets that I will be rearing. Goats have been my favourite animals since they reproduce twice a year and their offspring take little time to mature. Additionally, I will soon start selling fresh vegetables and fruits and earn a living since I currently depend on odd jobs. It has been a struggle especially in meeting my family's needs since the income was very low."

"I am aspiring to buy more livestock moreso goats. I am convinced that these are the only domestic animals that can thrive so well in my region. Also, they reproduce so fast. Therefore within a short period, I believe to own a good number of them which shall empower me to be paying fees for my children on time. This will be a major support to them considering that it has been the biggest hiccup."
