Equipping my living room with better seats is going to boost my esteem to host guests and friends more often. "

"Having a stable source of income has been my greatest desire. For over many years now, I have depended on casual jobs that are hard to come by to sustain the family. My husband, on the other hand, is a water vendor in Mombasa, and he uses a hand-drawn cart to ferry water around the city. It a strenuous job and in most cases he is unable to meet our needs. Therefore, we intend to use a huge part of our transfers in starting a kiosk business. This will be our constant source income. Apart from that, we will invest in goat rearing. It is a viable practice in our region since it is not labor-intensive. This will serve as a long-term investment plan. And that is what receiving this money means to me."
