I have longed and desired to have something that I can rely on when an emergency happens especially with my children who are prone to diseases and at times are sent back home due to a lack of school fees. There is no other project I can do other than keeping the local breed chicken. Receiving this money means spending 1000KES for the first three months to buy chicks and rear them till they start laying eggs and hatching.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My father bought me a pair of kanga for the Christmas celebrations. I truly felt happy and cared for.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The lack of rain has made my life difficult. I raise my children depending on subsistence farming. I now depend on my parents to take of me as well as my children something I feel I am overburdening them.
I use my grass-thatched single room house as a habitable room as well as my kitchen and I do not have a bed, I lay some sacks and rags on the floor to act as my beddings.
