"The biggest hardship in my life is raising school fees for my children. Subsistence farming has been our source of income but due to prolonged drought, we hardly harvest. Mostly, my children could stay at home due to late payment of school fees."

"The payment of school fees for my children has been my biggest challenge. In the years between 1994 to 1999, I was struggling to pay school fees for my three children at the secondary level and my wife was still in college. Also, at this time one of my children was seriously sick. I was a bit stressed because the 6,000 shillings I earned as a civil servant was not enough, I was almost failing as a parent to fulfill my duties."

I will use Give directly grant transfer to construct a small structure for the shop and purchase some stocks to start with.

It will cost me around 30,000shillings to purchase esher cow which is the best breed in our area.On the other hand am planning to fence my compound using a Channing wire which will cost me approximately 40,000 shillings. The remaining amount will cater for my food stuffs since am getting old and unable to work on my two acre farm."
