"Reason why I prioritize plans the way I did is because in these days you will find that those who did not finish education they are way far than those who are still studying if I give an example of my class mate he got grade A- in high school but didn't continue with college now he proudly own his business, as student and class classmate I fill am far behind, due to this opportunity I will take advantage of family farm to plant fruits and supply to Nairobi county, ever since I joined high school I had a thing with electrical engineering but due to pressure from family to choose other career and also peer pressure I had to drop the subject that I love which is physics but now I see this to be an opportunity to go back to school and achieve my dream about electrical engineering and thirdly I would to move out from parents and start my own life."

"Receiving this money means I am in a position to invest for my three children through dairy farming. I have been purchasing milk for our domestic use for the last ten years. I envisage to change this narrative after receiving the first transfer by owning a dairy cow for the first time ever. I intend to sell it's yields so as to pay for my children's education and save for their future. "
