"My ambition has been to purchase a motorcycle taxi for business, but due to financial challenges, this dream has never been fulfilled. Receiving this money means filling it I am planning to spend all the transfer to purchase it. This is going to generate income for my family. In a month, I can make 15000 shillings. This amount is enough to sustain all the basic needs of my family. Approximately, my family spends 10,000 shillings for their basic needs such as food. I will save the remaining amount for our future life."

"As a footballer, my leg broke about 5 months ago when I collided with another player from the opponent's side. Since I have no insurance cover or a sponsor, I had to spend virtually all my savings on medication services. As such, my dream of opening a shop faded away since I had no capital left. Accordingly, I have somehow lost hope of raising the required funds since the little income that I normally attain from my motorbike business could barely sustain us. However, I greatly thank God for healing me. Hence, breaking my leg while playing soccer served as the biggest hardship I have faced in life." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)
