"I intend to start doing some market research and analysis on livestock (specifically cattle, sheep and chicken) prices. My intention for doing this is to avoid exploitation from the businessmen for us who will have received the transfer. I will keep the transfer in my mobile money provider as I monitor the price dynamics. Once it comes to the normal rate, I will use part of the transfer to buy 3 dairy cattle at a cost of 60,000 shillings, 3 sheep at a cost of 12,000 and the remaining amount built a poultry unit. I will then prioritize on chicken since they multiply fast hence more income from the sale of their products."

"My biggest hardship in life has been financial strains. In 2018 I had joined college to pursue a course in accounting, but I had to drop out because there was no capital to pay for school fees, It is one of my dreams to finish that course and equip myself with the right knowledge to even look for jobs in the accounting field. Right now I am a single mother of two and I do not have a job, I really struggle and I am afraid in the coming future I might not be able to afford the basic needs that I should provide for my two children"
