Receiving this money will allow me to renovate my house, which was damaged during the floods, and replace the lost items. Additionally, I plan to invest in 5 goats, which will provide a stable source of income during tough financial periods and enable me to save for my children's education. I firmly believe that once they complete their schooling and secure employment, their future will significantly improve, bringing me immense joy.
What is the happiest part of your day?
In the last six months, I successfully harvested vegetables from my quarter-acre farm, generating approximately KES 2000 from sales. This income allowed me to provide food for my family, which brings me great joy. I find the most happiness when I am with my children, especially during our shared evening meals.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My greatest challenge is not having sufficient finances to support my daughter through secondary school due to a health condition that limits my ability to engage in strenuous work. It saddens me to see my other two children aspiring for college education, yet I am unable to provide for them. However, I am optimistic that with my current transfers, I will be able to secure the necessary funds to ensure they receive the education they deserve for a brighter future.
