What did you spend your third transfer on?
My son in form three had a school fees balance worth 20000 KES and I couldn't raise the money and keep him in school and therefore when I received my third transfer, I cleared the arrears. And used the rest of the money to start a tailoring shop that I rely on for my daily read.

What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship here is finances. Having three children in Secondary school is really draining us financially.

I am happiest in the afternoon when serving my customers in my small plastic-shoes business.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
We were very happy to hear we are part of the program. This money will definitely rescue us in a big way as we have three children in Secondary schools who we were struggling to pay their school fees.
