"I wake up at 6:00am then I pray prepare for tea , then I take tea clean the house until 10:00am.l then carry my tools of work to the road side near my house I start preparing for samosas and ground nuts ready for sell. During lunch time I take my lunch at my house which is close to the place of work. Then head back to work until evening I then go back to my house prepare for food for my family and On my free time I do a general cleaning at my house."

"My top concern is police violence because since I was born in mathare I have seen police collecting bribe, harassing women, youths and that has not stopped till now. Unemployment being the biggest challenge in Kenya because of lack of opportunities. Lastly daily sustenance because if you can't sustain yourself and your family you will end up drinking alcohol and engaging in other bad behavior."

"On my usual day I wake up do some house chores then go to work. I work as a house help in Eastleigh. I ensure all my days work is done then go back home in the evening to take care of my family. During my free time I relax spend time with my friends and family, watch TV ."

"On my usual day I spend my time looking for jobs. Am a casual labourer and that means I need to look for jobs every now and then. Depending on the day I might called in to help in construction work, or even juakali. I also sell second hand clothes but this is something I do on specific days. This is because gauging the money I get from casual work and having a small business, I get more doing casual work and also because my wife takes the bigger role in attending to our clients. So the days I sell clothes I let her rest as I help her. I spend my free time watching football with my peers and just catching up."

"I usually don't have free time due to business that am doing, where I have to work hard so that I can meet my daily targets, the only time I consider to be free is on Sunday where I usually volunteer by waking up at 6:00am, Clean the church and arrange the chairs till mass start which is 10:00am and ends at 1:00pm, after I will go home and take lunch then head to my business."

"It was around 3 am when I received a message confirming that I had received money. At that moment, I was overwhelmed with joy. I never went back to sleep. Since I did not want to disturb my neighbors, I silently prayed and sung for the blessings that just came in."

"My ambition is to be a successful business man in future. I would like to open a chain of supermarket's all over the country and also invest in real estates to build homes and rental premises. This will enable my self to live a good life as well as that of my family. I will be able to provide basic needs for my family without any struggle."

"I will use this money first to invest in my own clothes selling business and this will make me financially independent and save me from the everyday hustles of job hunting. I will also use money to buy some livestock like goats which in future will help me greatly. This money will also help me in paying for my rent on time since from my casual jobs at times I do lack even money to pay rent."

"It was hard believing that I had received such an amount of money because it is something that has never happened to me before. When I saw the text messages, I had to check my M-pesa balance to be really sure that it was real."

"The biggest hardship that I am faced with is poverty. Since my husband passed on, it has really been a challenge the fact that even the piece of land that he left me with is too small to support the family. "
