    My loan helped me increase my stock because of that i have been able to send my children to boarding school, where i am able to afford, i am able to pay my business premises rent with out much strain, because of the increase of the stock, since the investments i make 2000 kshs on a very bad day, which is good, in my community all seems to be well, living the slums we live like one big family.
