"I have struggled hard all my life supporting my children's needs and now that they are no longer dependent on me, I aspire to live a comfortable life than before. Receiving this money will enable me to build a two-roomed iron-roofed kitchen that will cost a total of $250. One of the rooms will serve as a bedroom to my visitors, thus no more shame of asking my neighbors to host them at night whenever they come visiting. I also plan to spend $250 to buy 8 goats that will act as my store of wealth to be sold whenever there is a need for emergency cash. I will then buy household furniture and install a solar panel in my house costing @300"

"Receiving this money mean a comfortable life with my family. I have been aspiring to build a new house since the one we are living in, is in deplorable state. The house is old and when it rains, it leaks giving us sleepless night and it becomes hard for my children to study. Our intention therefore, is to use Ksh 40,000 to build a better one and help improve the living standard of my family."
