"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."

"Receiving this money means that we shall afford to purchase a piece of arable land since we are currently living and doing livestock farming in a rocky land that we inherited from our parents. Practicing crop farming will make it easier and cheaper for us to attain adequate food in our household. As a ripple effect, we shall save some of our income to be used in crucial 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."

"The biggest hardship that I have faced in my life is when my husband was completely jobless. Things were really tough even putting food on the table was a nightmare. We relied on our parents for a long time to be able to pull through that period. It was not until my husband got engaged with his carpentry job that things turned out to be better."
