"Were it not for the organization, I do not think that I would have managed to pay school fees for my kids who had a very huge amount of school fees arrears yet I had no money that I could use to bail them out. I am happy that I managed to pay school fees for the kids and made them concentrate on their studies without missing out on the lessons."
Karisa's family

Karisa enrolled.
"My desire has been to educate my daughter who is now in form two at Bandari secondary school. This target has been faced with a lot of challenges because of the nature of my jobs. Considering my age and the jobs I do as a charcoal burner and sometimes preparing neighbors' farms at a fee, I get very little money that can not sustain my daughter at school and other family needs. Receiving this money will enable me to pay school fees for my child and also use part of the transfers to construct a spacious iron roofed house because the one I currently live in is leaking. I will use the remaining amount to buy ten goats because in our village, we depend on livestock keeping."
