Peris
enrolled.
"I intend to pay school fees for my two girls in secondary school and another who is joining them next year. I have always had the passion of ensuring that my children get the best education because I dropped out in class six due to lack of fees. I do not have any livestock hence I plan to buy two cows which would help me in getting fresh milk for my family and also plough my farm during the planting season. "

Kadzo
enrolled.
"I live in a grass thatched house that is in very poor condition. The roof is leaking and the walls are almost falling down. In fact I am afraid it might collapse anytime now that the rainy season is approaching. Through this transfer I will construct an iron roofed house. This is because maintaining the current house is very expensive due to high cost of grass which I have to replace every three months. I will also start a 'chapati' business that will generate income to buy food and clothing."

Kahonzi
enrolled.
"My husband died thirteen years ago and left me with five children. I took the responsibility of raising my children singlehandedly through casual jobs that earn me at least one dollar a day. The lack of a sustainable source of income has made it difficult for me to educate my children. Four of them had to drop out of primary school and they now work as casual labourers. "
