The transfer will enhance our living standards, we plan to invest well. Fishing is the main economic activity due to proximity to Lake Baringo. I plan to spend $100 to set up a place to fry fish and sell. It will give me about $5 daily profit, enough to meet daily household food needs. Since education elevates once life. We plan to invest about $500 on our children's education. Our daughter wants to join college and the others are still at a secondary level. Its always sad seeing our children at home not being able to pursue their dreams. It will make me happy when they all join school. Goat and poultry farming is convenient here due to the hot climate. There are enough feeds for goats and chicken require little food. We plan to spend the rest of the transfer on this. We'll be able to sell eggs or even sell goats in the future. Three goats for a start is good. One goat is sold at approximately $50.

I'm always grateful that as a family we are all healthy. It's amazing waking up in the morning and looking for casual jobs and coming back home healthy in the evening. It makes me happy and hopefully things can get better and the economy recovers.

My husband works as a tour guide, it's our main source of income. Ever since after the COVID-19 pandemic the tourism sector was hit. Additionally, in recent years Lake Baringo has been expanding submerging most of the hotels which host tourists. This has made our household income low, we're not able to educate our children or provide good living conditions. I have a daughter who completed secondary education two years ago and has not been able to join college due to lack of funds. It worries me a lot seeing our daughter at home not being able to pursue her dream of being a nurse.
