Hellen
received a $23 eleventh payment.
"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that, I will have managed to start a business. I want to have a steady income that I can use to take care of my needs and emergencies because currently, I depend on casual jobs that are reliable and at times I am forced to take loans so as to handle my emergencies. This is not a habit that I would love to continue with and this is the reason why I want to focus on business atlease to get something everyday."

Karisa
enrolled.
"Financial constraint is the biggest hardship that I face daily in my life. My work as a casual worker earning commission on each vehicle that I bring passengers to does not generate a lot. It is not also consistent and as a result, on so many nights my family has been forced to sleep hungry when I did not manage to get any money. This has ended up frustrating me a lot to an extent that I nearly developed ulcers sometimes back when my child who had asthma became so sick and I could not even take him to hospital to get proper treatment."
