I'm very glad to have been considered for the cash transfers. Since I'm a widower with 3 children, I believe this money will surely assist me. For the first cash transfer, I intend to buy clothes and food for my children using about KES 18000. For the second and third cash transfer I plan to use KES 10000 to purchase food stuffs and the rest KES 90000 I will pay school fees for my children and whatever remains I will save to ensure they never struggle in school with fully paid school fees.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My happiness has always come from my children. Every day I wake up and they are doing well and healthy I feel very happy and delighted.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My biggest challenge currently is a lack of money. I have three children of whom I'm paying fees for and since my wife passed on I have been left with the burden of providing for them. It's challenging for me since I depend on being hired as a driver which is not enough to cater for my household needs and also my children's school fees. This has left me so stressed and worried for the future of my children.
