"Financial constraints has been my biggest hardship in life. This has prevented me from achieving very many things in life as well as getting basic needs. Lack of school fees halted my dream of studying up to college level and securing a job. I did not study past primary school. I am now a mother of one and most of the hardships I face is due to lack of money. I struggle to satisfy the family's basic needs such as food,clothes and decent shelter. I depend on farming which does not do well in our region due to lack of rains."

"I am a motorcycle taxi rider who is employed by the owner of the motorcycle. Receiving this money will help me own a motorcycle which will mean that I will pocket all the profit. This has always been my wish. A second hand motorcycle will cost me around $ 400. I will then use $ 200 to expand my house to one extra room. My current house is one tiny room which is very squeezed considering that my children are growing."

"I am looking foward to use the money for renovating the house and buy mattress,extra beddings,clothes and bicycle for kids."

"It means a great harvest for us as we shall buy fertilizer and good seedlings for the gradens which we have been lacking. The other money will go towards beddings,a bicycle for us and food for the three of us."

"My mom was a casual labourer and used to earn sh 300 for fetching water for our neighbors in the village. we were 6siblings and I was the second born in the family, my elder sister and myself; we did not finish our studies after completing class eight, I was to join form one because we were poor. I get so embarrassed to see my friends who went to secondary successfuly doing so well in life.I feel I should go back to polytechnic college to equip my self with Mason skills so that I can be employed and improve my life too."

"Receiving this money really means alot to me because i have really big plans with the transfers"

"I dont not have any reliable source of income, i only sell small pieces of firewood which i collect from the nearby mountain, so finding money each and every single day is very difficult for me."

"Lack of money"

"I will build a better house"

"I will add on my business"
