"My first priority is to expand my poultry business in order to get more income that will help me to take care of my family. I truly believe that this will uplift my living standard as I will have a stable source of income from the sale of poultry. My second priority will be to save part of the transfer,for future emergencies like outbreak of diseases that may attack my poultry. My third priority will be to use the remaining part my transfer to add more poultry."

"My top concern is housing because delay of rent payment results to the landlord locking my house thus leaving my family and i homeless. Paying rent and school fees are a burden since both are done at the end of the month and failure to honor either of them impacts heavily on my family leading to unending stress and conflict between my wife and I."

"My top concern is police violence because policemen normally arrest anyone without any valid reason. I fear for my life since with random arrests my position and state of mind destablises and if i have a job to run to I can't make it thus ending up to miss out on the job which means no money in hence I will have difficulties meeting my family's and self daily needs."

"My usual day begins with waking up, grooming myself up, taking breakfast and going to work. I either go for garbage collection which isn't a daily thing or am at my friend's shop helping him to sell his clothes. Through this, I gain knowledge and skills for running my business when it kicks off. At 6pm i return home to prepare supper and get ready for bed. In my free time, i spend it watching football if there are matches or movies."
