On a good week I make sh 3000 and on a bad week I get nothing.so I struggle to balance the two so that my children will not go ungry." (Occupation: Small business)

"Receiving this money will mean a lot to me. My ambition has been to own a tailoring machine since I completed my tailoring course in 2018. Therefore I'll use 100 Dollars to purchase a tailoring machine for business purposes. I'll also use the cash to buy two indigenous dairy cattle at a cost of 150 dollars each to get milk for domestic consumption and for sale. I also live in a single room house and therefore I'll use 250 dollars to expand my house. After doing all this I'll be at peace."

"When I receive this money, I will start by venturing into business.I will start a motorcycle spare parts shop with 50,000 Kenya shillings.Motorcycles are the main means of transport in this area and this is what made me think of this business. I will also use 40,000 Kenya shillings to buy 2 cows. This will provide my family with milk for consumption and for sale."

This will mean a stable source of income that will see me finance my daughter's education alongside other needs."
