"My first priority is to reopen my business of selling second hand shoes at Gikomba market. I was selling shoes but my business burned down due to the fire that broke out at Gikomba market this year. The fire broke out at 3:00am in the morning while I was at home. I did not salvage anything from my business, all I had burned down to ashes. I will therefore expect to get more profit in return because of the influx of people around Nairobi in the market. Secondly, I will invest in a new business of selling charcoal in Kiamutisya, Mathare. There are so many food kiosks around, I will be able to take advantage of kiosks and be able to supply them with charcoal. The demand of charcoal in my area is high and this will provide a ready market for my business and I will therefore make alot of profit in return. Thirdly, I will save the remaining transfer and be able to boost my businesses whenever they go down."

"My top concern is my family in particular my children because I don't have a stable source of income. I normally get my income from selling samosas and plastic items that is always not enough.

I normally feel very sad when I see my children being sent home from school. I always fear that they might drop out of school and this may lead to so many challenges in their life like engaging in criminal activities and drug abuse. "

"In the next six months, I expect my small business to have grown bigger hence will be more stable and earning me better profits that will open up other projects like putting up a posho mill in the nearby market to serve the ready market from my community which currently relies on one this will always boost my financial stability hence giving better assets to give my children to inherit and better their lives."
