"Receiving this money means a better living standard through dairy farming. I am a single parent doing casual jobs to raise a family of 6. Three years ago, I bought a piece of land from my savings since then I have had the desire to own a dairy cow. I am planning to use KES 35,000 to purchase a dairy cow from which I can earn money by selling milk and my children will have enough milk for drinking."

"Being able to meet my basic needs is what has brought me joy. I had planted sweet potatoes in my one point of land and the yield has been amazing. I am currently selling the surplus to save for my school fees."

"I have a big challenge with my work because am supposed to earn a KES. 8,000 salary but my employer is arrogant. He deducts KES.4,000 monthly claiming that it will cover for unforseen costs in the operation of the gas station. It is so unfortunate because we can do nothing about the situation and my salary is just high on paper but not in reality. This strains our expenditure because we have to be so cautious on what we spend on. School fee always comes first then other needs which are rarely met."
