Plista

"The biggest hardship I have faced in my life was educating my children. Out of nine, I have managed to see four through secondary schools. Lack of an income has been a major challenge to ensuring that all my children get secondary education. After my husband's death things seem to have gotten much worse."

"The achievement I am proudest of would be educating my children. I am a peasant farmer with low income. From farming I have been able to pay school fees for my eldest son to tertiary level of education and he currently works as a professional with on of the government arms. I feel proud of it because the community around regarded me a poor woman who could not afford educating her children."

Jane
received a $477 third payment.
"As a parent life feels meaningless when you cannot give your child the life he/she deserves mainly (education) , my child had stayed home for one year as a school dropout due to lack of money hence I spent the larger part of my third transfer on paying school fees for her and now I am happy as she is almost completing her high school education. I also bought sofa set seats ."
