I spent my third transfer on Secondary school fee for my daughter for 15,000 KES to enable her learn consistently, a Solar panel for 13,000 KES to enable my children study at night and get informed by watching television, and bought seats for 12, 000 KES since I owned only 1 fold-able and old-fashioned chair in my house. I spent the balance of 6,000 KES as Start -up Capital for a small scale business where I make and sell chips, and also charcoal since I am a widow and the sole bread winner for my six children. I used to do Odd Jobs for people and earned 200 KES per day, and occasionally 400 KES but then sometimes I would stay without work for more than 5 days, and it was difficult to care for my family. Since I started this small business, I make a profit of between 600 KES and 1,200 KES daily, averaging 800 KES from chips alone, and another 150 KES -250 KES after every 3 days from each bag of charcoal . From the profits I have earned since July 2017, my greatest achievement has been to buy a bicycle for 5,000 KES for my daughter who uses it as transport means for school in the morning. I figured out that my teenage girl who is a Form 2 student is delicate, and exposed to all manner of vices by men since she had to leave home at 5.00 am every morning for her to make it to the far off school by 7.00 am daily, and I used to be worried about her safety before GD supported me with the grant. I was conscious of her need for Protection, and with the bicycle , she does not have to leave home at dawn any more since the time spent to get to school has been lessened by far; she leaves at 6.00 am which is reasonable and is not in as much danger as before I received GD grants.

I spent my second transfer on paying school fee for my child. I bought a solar panel, furniture, utensils and used some on buying food for my family.

My children now have easy time while studying without straining because I have a solar panel. My daughter too is going to school without worries of being sent back home for school fee. This is the biggest difference in my daily life.

I spent my first transfer on paying my daughter's secondary school fees of 5000 KES, bought my primary children uniform and shors worth 2100 KES, and spent the rest on food.

I was so happy and just thanked God for the blessing.
