"I am a parent who attaches so much value to the education of my children. I did not get the chance to go to school during my time and that is why I want to give my children the best. I have 5 children who are in various schools, 3 in college and 2 in high school. Having them all in school at the same time is very expensive. I pay a total of 130000 shillings for those in college and 25000 shillings for the ones in high school every single term. Raising that kind of money has never been easy. I am always forced to take loans from various financial institutions which are very costly to repay because of high-interest rates. At the moment, I have an active loan of 50000 shillings at Equity Bank. Receiving this money will be a big sigh of relief to me as it will help me clear my outstanding loan."

This is against our culture, but due to financial challenges, I have failed to construct one. Receiving this money means fulfilling a long time desire. I am planning to spend 90,000 shillings to construct a spacious house for my children so that they can leave a decent and comfortable life.Furthermore, I will use the remaining amount to renovate the one we are living in so that I, together with my husband can retain our respect because we will separate from sleeping with our children.""

I will be selling them one by one in case I am stuck somewhere so that I survive in future.""

After all the struggles and perseverance, I normally get anout Sh 200 in a day, an amount that is not enough to cater for our basic needs and medical."
