I will have two children next year in secondary school and it is quite a daunting job to pay these school fees and I hope I will be a position to meet this. I do not want to have my children sent from school for fee arrears. I really hope that by doing this, I will allow my children to have ample time to study and make a good life out of it. As a parent, I pray for the best for my children."

"My mother-in-law who recently passed away had been sick for a very long time. I had to stay home to nurse and take care of her therefore could not work regularly. This left my husband with all the burden of our household financial obligations including paying for his mother's medical bills. With the little he earns, it has always been so hard for him to keep up therefore was very stressed. I expect to go back to work so that I can support my husband financially and even in talking care the household needs."

"In the next six months I expect to continue investing in farming and getting enough produce for my consumption and also to sell some for my family up keep."

"In the next six months I would have started buying building materials to put up my own house to avoid inconveniency caused when sleeping in my uncle's house. I will also have started another investment like keeping cattle such as goats to act as security for my future use."

"My new goal is to continue with my savings. I am determined to keep my promise to my mother of building her a new house. I will channel the transfers to savings until I get the required amount to buy enough building materials for building her a decent house."

"I spent my transfer on boosting my fish mongering business was not doing very well since it was our main income before the transfers. The other part of the transfer I used to gift my sisters who had requested for financial assistance since they did not have any source of income. The whole family depends on my income hence when I get some amount, it is an obligation to help them. The rest of the transfer I used on buying food for my family so that we may not run out of what to eat."
