"I like fashion alot and have been thinking of running a boutique for a long time and because didn't have the income I had to kind of put it at bay, and as for now have gotten the money I will invest in this business. Right now am of age as per my tradition and I feel embarrassed that I do not have a roof on my head in a way that everytime I go home(shags) I always borrow somewhere to sleep due to this I want to build a house for myself. My mother is widow and sometimes getting finances to facilitate my sister's education is a challenge so I would want to give a hand."

"My top concern is my family because am worried about my children's future. I struggle so much to make sure they get good education, so they do not end up in unemployment. I am worried that we live in slums and they might engage in bad company and start using drugs or engage in criminal activities."

"My top concern is my family because as a parent I want the best for my children and am not so sure if I will give them the best education and life they need. Secondly the fact that I don't have employment is also a concern because I also have a disabled child who needs special attention that am not able to provide as a mother and lastly getting daily subsistence is a problem sometimes especially since my business backfired a while ago so it is always hard to provide to my family sometimes.

"My top concern is how I will raise my kids as a single mother and be able to provide everything for them and also take then to school and get education. Secondly, as a single mother am always worried about how one day I can be able to buy land so that me and my children can have a place of our own. Lastly, unemployment worries me as a single mother I have children to provide to and ensure they get all they need from a parent and since I don't have a job it becomes a big challenge sometimes. "

"I have decided to start with opening a business of selling cereals. With business, am assured of income flow which will take care of everything else i am meant to deal with such as rent, school fees and food.
Secondly, i will pay school fees for my son since that is the only thing i can give him to guarantee him a better future, education.
Lastly, i will give back to society by helping out a friend with cartering for her food since she has been there for me during difficult times."

"According to me business is a priority because I know it will generate something more for me. For this reason, I would like to set up a shop for selling second hand clothes and shoes.
Secondly, I would like to gain more skills in life that will enable me get a job that will entitle me to a salary which is extra income on my end that's is why taking myself to college and paying my school fee for building and construction engineering comes second.
Lastly improving my family is also my priority and i hope to achieve this through paying for my sister her education fees. This will relieve the heavy burden on my father since i will be helping him out and stop my sister from constantly being sent home."
