"I am widow who has 4 sons who are in secondary school. Paying for their school fees has not been easy. I work as a casual laborer. This job earns me 400 shillings in a day. This can not sustain all our needs especially the school fees,. My son is the one who has been struggling to support his siblings. He works as a teacher. Also his salary is not enough.I am planning to spend all the transfer to clear all the fees arrears. This will give them room to study with ease because they will not be sent to collect fees. I hope that they will pass and proceed to a university. Once they attain their certificates, they will be employed and support our family in the future."
