"In the next six months, I would just want to ensure my children are not sent home again for school fees. I will do my best to pay school fees in time so that my children can study in peace. I will take part of my monthly income from GD to pay for their school fees bit by bit until I clear al, their balance. I pray when they are done with studies, they will be able to get well paying jobs to suppoirt me."

"Being a widow, i struggle alot in providing for my family. My husband died six years ago leaving me with six children. It reached a point whereby i could not afford to pay for their school fees and they had to drop out of school. I do casual jobs in the nearby quarry. The money i get daily which amounts to 1USD is barely enough to provide for their needs and the only thing i can afford is to provide them with their evening meals. This is the biggest hardship i am facing in life"
