"My biggest hardship is lack of enough support for my children education."

"I had sold all muy livestock in order to pay school fees for my childkren but currrently I have one that I bought using the first trnsfer.My life is so also differeent because my children have completed their education."

"I will invest my money in a new business,i want to start selling fish. I will buy them in Gikomba market,come cook them and sell them here in Mathare,I saw it as a good business that is manageable if i was to compare with with what i do now. In time i will be able to stop washing clothes for other people and run my own business. The business can help me cater for my daily needs. Secondly i will invest in my childrens education. I am the sole bread-winner thus i have to give them the best. Lastly i can keep the rest for savings, business is unpredictable and having a back up is important to help in the difficult times."

"I will use this money to build a house in our rural home since we still don't have one and husband's financial condition is very low. After I will secondly use this money to invest in my existing business by adding more stock so that to ensure it becomes bigger and gives me good income. I will again use this money to pay for my children school fees and ensure they get good education since they have always been sent back for fees most of the times. "

"I want to start a business of selling clothes,i once had such a business and i lacked capital to keep it afloat,from it i will be able to educate my children and meet my needs. Secondly i would want to educate my children, for them to recieve good education. Lastly i would buy iron sheets to improve our house back in the village to give my grandmother a good roofing over her head"

"I would like to start a welding businesses. Due to devolution, there is increase in infrastructural development and construction of housing units to meet the demand of people. I will be making doors and windows because of the demand and is profitable. I would pay school fees for my child as well as taking education policy for him. Lastly, I will furnish my house, buy a bed since I have been sleeping down on a mat. I will also buy utensils and cook food in my house, because I have been eating in kiosks which is expensive and sometimes the risk of food poisoning."

"First I prioritize like that because I would like to buy a motorcycle so that I can have an operating business that I can get daily income. Secondly, buy at least two rooms and even rent one within Margaret and lastly pay school fees for my children so that they don't miss school as education is important. "

"To achieve my goals of doing catering since it has been my passion for a long time. I would also like to be in a position to help the poor by giving them food and at times visit them in the children's home since I was once in ABC Children Home where I also studied my primary and secondary education. "

"My life is different. First, school fee for my son is fully catered for the rest of his secondary education. Initially, he often missed school due to lack of funds for fee. Second, my children do not roam in the village borrowing space to sleep at night. There is a brand new house for them and they are comfortable. We built it using the transfer we received from GD. Finally, we are well fed as a family. We used to skip meals due to lack of funds but now we are a happy lot; we have more than enough courtesy of GiveDirectly. Thank you GD!"

"The biggest hardship I have faced in my life was being unable to complete secondary education. I had a dream of becoming an accountant but right now, I no longer dream it. "
