What do you plan to do with the cash transfer?
For the past 1 year I have faced financial constraints in my kiosk due to stiff competition.This has prompted me to diversify in businesses in order to earn more at different times.With these transfers I plan to establish a poultry business starting with 20 birds at a cost of KES 500 each.I will be able to earn income from egg sale as well as hen sale.With the remaining amount of KES 20000 I will restock my kiosk with industrial goods.People in the community prefer buying goods from a fully packed shop and that's why I want to take advantage of this.
What is the happiest part of your day?
Spending time with my 2 children and husband at Lake Bogoria spur in the past two weeks brought happiness in my life.When schools closed in 23rd of October this year.My children and I visited their father who works in Lake Bogoria as a hotel attendant.We were able to go for recreational activities such as swimming,gym and lastly had a tour to the great lake Bogoria hot springs where we boiled eggs.Having experienced these moments with my family I have been able to feel a sense of unity, togetherness and immense love within the family.At the moment I am looking forward to many more memorable moments like those ones.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
I am a mother of 2 operating a kiosk within the village for the past 4 years.For the past 1 year most of my neighbors have opened up kiosks within the village,this has posed a great challenge to my household in terms of finances.Previously I would earn an average of KES 800 per day but currently I get less than KES 200 from the daily sells.I was unable to sell anything in the last 3 days for instance ,this has caused some of the items such as bread , tomatoes and milk to go to waste due to their short lifespan.Stiff competition from the neighborhood kiosks has really affected my family financially to an extend that I have to depend on my husband for household needs which was not the case in the past 2 years.I hope things will change for the better in the near future.
