"The biggest hardship that I face right now is lack of enough money to pay school fees for all my children, my only source of income is my motorcycle taxi, but this can hardly cater for all their basic needs, in fact some of them may drop out of school because they have fee arrears."

"I am planning to spend my transfer on paying dowry for my wife using the first transfer and the second transfer I will spend on buying a second hand motorcycle that I can use in doing business of carrying goods that I can sell which include fruits like bananas and mangoes. The final transfer I will spend on buying two bulls that I can use in plowing my farm. The remaining amount I will use in clearing school fees debt for my kids."
