"I have been homeless for 1 year after being chased away by security officers from mau forest due to government instructions. This forced me to return to my ancestral home with my grand children. I have wished to have my own place but I have not been able to do so due to financial crisis. Therefore, financial problem is the biggest hardship I am facing in my life."

"I am currently working as a night watchman in a nearby school but I am a trained welder. I have been wishing to start my own business in welding but it has been a pipe dream due to lack of enough capital to buy the welding machine. The work am currently doing cannot meet the needs of school fees, clothing and food for my family.
In this locality there's only one welder who is usually overwhelmed by the orders he gets. I am lucky because I have electricity from the grid here at my house so I can just be working from home. With these transfers I would like to start this welding business and this will actually make a good income for my household."

"School fees payment has been the biggest hardship in my life. My mother is a single parent, we are four in the family and I am the last born. By the time I was joining high school all my siblings were in college and this had really drained our family's resources. I was forced to defer my studies severally to give my parent a financial break."
