"I am a fruit vendor along the streets. I am happy this can make me at least KES 500 a day. With the profits, I am able to buy more stock and also cater for my basic needs like paying house rent, which back then, I could stay for months without settling due to inadequate finances. I am glad I can also plan for my finances to meet all my basic needs, something that could not happen before."

"Owning the house is the biggest difference in my daily life. Previously I used to sleep under a small grass-thatched muddy hut which was ever leaking whenever it could rain. This was really hectic especially for my child whenever she wanted to study at night it was difficult for her since the house was not spacious. we are now happy and safer because we are sleeping under a semi-permanent iron-roofed house which is also well plastered. My child can now study comfortably without any difficulties which are giving me hope for her bright future."
