Description

Jobless and a single parent to three teenage children, Jane depended on well-wishers to feed her children and pay her rent. “It was a desperate situation as I had no proper job. Once in a while I would wash people’s clothes to get some money for food.”

In December 2009, she started receiving a monthly cash transfer from MSDP of Ksh 1500 (£10). “This batch of money really helped me as I used it to start a small retail business that later paid off and saw me able to pay school fees for my children – one of whom I had sent out to work as a housemaid. The money moved me from the deepest point of my life.”

This year, Jane joined the cash for work project, where she does basic work like cleaning drainages and sorting used plastics. “I now feel more dignified as I am earning my sweat. I can now pay my own rent, I am still running my business, and my children are assured of a better future as they will finish their education.”
