"My first son has reached the age of going to school, but due to the lack of funds to pay his tuition, he has not been enrolled into any school.

I will also use any extra funds left to change the roof of my house from thatch to zinc."

"I spent KES 35000 of my transfer on paying school fees for my three children, one on hid final year in college and the two in secondary schools respectively. Thus has been one of the major challenges that I have been acing for years considering I have been depending on buying and selling charcoal to make ends meet. I am glad they are now in school without any disturbances. To add to that I had a debt of KES 10000 for my neighbor which was for the piece of land I had bought on credit earlier. Later on, I used the remaining KES 10000 on buying food like maize floor, sugar, beans, vegetables, and other household basic items like decent clothes and chairs. We no longer borrow those of friends like we used to do back then."
