"My work involves cutting trees in the forest and burning them to make charcoal. This is an extremely tiring job and for the past few months I have been praying to find an alternative source of income. Receiving this money means I will be able to start rearing livestock which is a very lucrative business in Bamba location. Over time the livestock will give birth and multiply in number, i will then start selling them in Bamba market thereby earning income from it. With this income I will pay for my children's education and feed my family."

"My first priority is to start a new business of a boutique and cosmetic shop. My target customers will be ladies because they are trendy. I am well known in my area and this will provide a ready market for my business and I will get a lot of profit in return. Secondly, I will support my child's education by paying her school fees because it is the best gift I can give out to her. Lastly, I will use the transfer to clear the debt I have borrowed from a friend."

"My first priority is to start up a grocery business of selling fruits and vegetables. I will open this business in Mlango Kubwa Mathare because I am well known in that area and therefore I am optimistic that I will have many customers and a ready market for my business. Secondly, I will support my sister's education by paying school fees for her. She is a student at Kenya Medical Training College in Narok and I would want her to have a better future for her.

"My top concern is family because, I would never want anything bad to happen to my children, I want the best for them including be able to provide a better life, better education and the basic needs that I am supposed to. That is why my top worry is, if am not able to give them a better life then his can they face this day and age with no education skills and being able to get basic needs."

"My top concern is being unable to achieve my ambitions because it Will kill my spirit,my family's and a reason to exist. Can you imagine having sleepless nights trying to study and get funds to facilitate my education and sometimes go hungry just to save money for my school fees. I also have a family who have invested in me alot and I think I can only make them proud by giving my best but not failure."

"I prioritize like that because first I would like to start my own boutique because I have done my own research and have seen it has good profit and therefore I will have a stable income. Secondly I will go back and finish my education and do electrical course that I didn't finish and lastly, this money will also help me to pay part of my rent before my business stablilize. "

"My greatest ambition is to ensure that my children get the best education. As a result, I have sold all my cows to educate them given that I do not have a constant source of funds. Receiving this money will enable me to buy 4 bulls each costing 12000 shillings and a cow at 18000 shillings. These bulls will enable me to pay for my son's dowry in the future and the cow will enable me get milk everyday."

"I was diagnosed with malignant diabetes in the year 2014 and was admitted to Longisa District hospital for barely 2 weeks. I have since been on and off the hospital for regular check ups and severity monitoring. For close to four years now I have routinely reported to the hospital to purchase monthly medication for every single one of them. It is expensive! My worry is that my four children would not access quality education and social welfare now since we spend all our finances to cater for my monthly medical expenses. This is the biggest hardship I have faced in my life. "
