The invaluable financial support I have received is profoundly shaping my journey towards a more promising future, transcending the constraints of poverty."

"With a total of five children enrolled in school, my primary focus is to utilize the transfers to ensure their uninterrupted education.

The continuous leaks during rainy weather have taken a toll on my household, and it's crucial to resolve this situation. Using the transfers, I have managed to acquire 8 pieces of iron sheets so far.

"I am a parent to six children, with one attending high school and the others in junior school. Sustaining their education has proven challenging for my husband and me, as we lack a stable source of income. The introduction of the new curriculum has brought additional financial burdens, making it difficult to meet all the educational expenses. My husband relies on casual jobs for a living, while I generate income by producing and selling liquid soap, although the returns are minimal. Without the consistent monthly transfers, it would be a constant struggle to keep my children in school, especially considering the risk of frequent suspensions due to unpaid fees. To overcome this challenge, I depend on monthly transfers to ensure timely payment of their fees. This financial support is crucial in preventing disruptions to their education and allows me to prioritize their continued attendance in school despite the ongoing financial difficulties."
