"I am excited with this money. I will use it to finish constructing my house. The other fraction of the money will be used to invest in a small scale business which I am yet to decide."

"When I was working as a maid my employer would shout at me and sometimes insult me. This would make me so sad but I had no option. Living and working in that house while working was the biggest hardship of my life."

"Residing in a rocky area is the biggest challenge I have faced in life since we cannot do crop farming. I am an enthusiastic farmer but the unfavorable soil conditions in our area have hindered me from engaging in food crop farming. As such, we spend significant amounts of money purchasing food items that we could have obtained through crop farming. Eventually, we are left with no or very little income to spend on developmental projects."

"Poultry keeping has been one of the things that I have always wanted but lack of finances has been a major hindrance. I love it because it is easy to maintain and assures you income by the end of the day. It does not require a lot of space and it is one of the things old people like myself can do. I plan to put up a nice structure that can accommodate 20 chicken. This will cost me approximately 8000 shillings. I will spend another 4000 shillings on the feeds. Out of this investment, I am sure to collect not less than 15 eggs every day. I will sell the same at 15 shillings each which will all go to my savings. This will earn me the financial independence that I currently lack."

"Receiving this money means a lot to me especially in terms of paying school fees. I have two children who are currently in secondary school and very often they are sent home for school fees. I have always had a desire to give my children the best in terms of education and I feel like I have let them down whenever I lack enough money to keep them in school. I also intend to use the money to start a small poultry project that will help me in feeding my family without having to depend on my husband entirely."
