"Not having a constant source of income makes it difficult to provide daily needs for my children. As a single mother, it is very frustrating and stressful when my children survive on a meal per day. This is why I have been trying to do different jobs to try to make ends meet but still, my effort is not enough. Lack of sufficient finances is the challenge that I currently face in life because it is the reason I have not been able to realize my dream."

"I have been praying for God to help me find a way of getting money so I can repair my house. The poles at each corner of the building were eaten by ants making it to be unstable. The flux has made the structure bend on one side which is very scary. I have developed insomnia as a result of this, I fear that it might fall at night when we are sleeping. I want to prioritize repairing the house among other things to avoid health hazards and for this to be achieved I might use around 30,000 KES. The second item on my to-do list when I received these transfers is to take my son to college which will cost 20,000 KES. The remaining 60,000 KES will help expand my small business of selling french fries for 5000 KES then save the rest for emergencies. Receiving this money means good housing for my family hence a relief from fear and too many worries, it will also enable my son to join college which is something he has always dreamed of."
