"With the money i will buy goats"

""I am a small business woman who sells tobacco in our village. I have been doing this work for 2 years now but the income is never enough for all our needs of food and education for my children. Receiving this money means boosting my current stock. I am planning to spend 50,000 shillings to purchase 50 kilograms. This can take me at least 2 months to sell and will generate good income for my family of 4 members. I anticipate to make at least 500 shillings profit from each kilo. Approximately, my family spends 300 shillings in a day on their basic needs so I can save the rest for their fees when school resumes. Also, I am planning to spend the remaining amount to clear fee balances for my 2 sons who are in secondary school.""

"Hunger"

"I will use the money to help my daily basic needs"

"Lack of enough stable income has been our biggest hardship. My husband who is a vetinary office has been depending on livestock farmers to seek his service at a fee. Now this has been difficult to get because nearly everyone is struggling with high cost of living and school fees in my area and some end up selling livestock."

"Hard to go find money"

"One of my top desire is to give my children the best education that I can. I have 4 children who are currently in school. I decided to take them to the best academy where they will face stiff competition from other learners to give a competitive edge. Raising their fees is an uphill task for me. I pay 15000 shillings for each child and this translates to 60000 shillings for all of them annually. Receiving this money will mean a lot to me as it will enable me to realize my dream"

"I live in an area where it experiences low rainfall yearly. We are constantly hit by droughts that go for even 4 months. This leaves me with the heaviest burden of finding water to use. I am forced to walk for close to 4 kilometers to access it and I carry it on my back using a 20 liter Jerry Can. I have to make 4-5 trips in a day to get enough that can sustain me the whole day. What is depressing is the fact that this water is not even safe for drinking and we have to walk further to get drinking water. I waste a lot of time doing this and lack time to focus on what is important for the family."

"I have problems to find enough money to buy clothes food and a proper place to skeep for my grandchildren"

"Mostly at my age its difficult for mr and my husband to have enough food."
