Receiving this money means education for my siblings. I will use KES 20,000 from the transfer to educate my siblings in primary school. My father; a casual labourer in the village earning less than KES 400 a day has been facing it rough when it comes to educating my siblings because whatever he earns is spent on food. I will further use KES 15,000 to buy goats for domestic rearing and once the goats multiply, I will exchange them with indigenous dairy cows for milk production both for sell and domestic consumption.
What is the happiest part of your day?
Whenever I get a one day job in the village especially house construction, I feel happy because I know the little cash I get is very important in buying food for my family of ten.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The major challenge I am currently facing is lack of a job that can sustain my family. I have been searching for one after completion of my studies five years ago and I am yet to get any both in the village and in town.
