"Buying livestock"

"I was extremely happy. I already had a business plan, but I was only lacking capital."

"I was at home when my grand son informed me that I had received some transfer from GD. I was very happy. First of all, I ordered for a kilo of meet"

"She bought a young bull ,because that she wanted to rear a bull but was unable to afford buying one. The remaining portion is going to be spent on fees of her last born who finished senior four."

"I feel at peace ,there is no pressure for school fees like it used to be before I got the transfer . I didn't have any livestock at home but I do have ,I and my family we are very Grateful to give directly."

"At the age of 84 years, one is expected to have settled and no more hard work to engage in due to being old. This is not the case with me because I am still actively engaged in some tasks like charcoal work to earn money for our upkeep. What a life! The sole reason is the fact that I do not have a person to depend on. To make the matter worse, I have my daughter who is epileptic and she is required to take medicines every day. Although we are given these medicines for free, the challenge is the transport cost to Kilifi town where we usually collect them. This has pushed me to venture into this business despite my old age. In addition, forfeiting meals has become our routine, a situation that has continuously made us weak. Hence, the financial instability in my household is what I consider to be my biggest challenge."

"I separated from my husband more than a decade ago and this pushed me to return to my paternal home. Since I had 2 children to take care of, I engaged in odd jobs like charcoal work to ensure they are in school. This work drained my energy and I am currently feeling the effect of this strenuous venture. I am no longer energetic and my hope now is to do a small business of selling vegetables. This job has not thrived well and its profit is usually very low, ($3) per day. Considering the many responsibilities I have, this income can not fully cater to my needs and hence, I consider the lack of a stable source of income as my biggest challenge."

"I bought a cow and a bull."

"I currently reside in my brother's two-room house. However, I am determined to construct my own house that reflects my aspirations. With dreams of freedom and the desire to carve my own path, I am embarking on a transformative journey to create a home that mirrors my vision and provides the comfort and space I seek."

"Eager to embark on a new entrepreneurial journey, I aspire to start my own business selling fresh and vibrant vegetables. Currently without a job, I am determined to turn my passion for horticulture into a thriving source of income. Through careful saving and planning, I intend to not only kickstart my business but also fulfill my dream of building a spacious and comfortable home. With unwavering dedication and strategic decision-making, I am poised to create a bright and prosperous future for myself and my loved ones."
