At the time I received my transfer, they had admitted me to the hospital. I had some problems with my appendix, which affected my health. I spent KSH 2000 from the transfer to clear the pending hospital bill when discharged. Besides clearing the hospital bill, I spent the remaining KSH 1000 to buy some over-the-counter drugs that were not available in the hospital. I am back home recovering from the illness and soon I will resume my work.

I am a bike mechanic and when I received my first transfer I used all the kes 1200 to buy bicycle tools to help me start of my business.My second transfer was divided in buying food and buying more tools that I needed in my business. My recent transfer came when I had taken foodstuff on credit and I paid kes 2000 and saved kes 1000 for future incase of anything I need to buy in my line of work.

I have gained and will keep gaining a lot of financial assistance because since I am the bread winner of my family at times business did not go so well but the funds have helped me grow it and even save money to develop it further in the future and I am so happy.

I happen to repair motorcycles for a living so when I received the money I went ahead to buy more spare parts for my shop and this included side mirrors and accelerator cables just to mention a few and this cost me around KES 1,500. Also since my father passed away some years back my mother and siblings depend on me so I went ahead and bought a bag of maize flour which contained twelve packets at KES 1,000 and this would sort out the meal situation for a while. Lastly I put KES 500 into my savings account so that I would have money on the side in case of any emergency.

When I received the transfer i was filled with excitement and I thanked God because I could not believe the money had finally come through and it meant that I could finally start my own project and earn more money for my family of four since I already had the skill to the job.

Honestly the biggest difference was the fact that I established my own business because previously I worked and borrowed tools from a colleague, and in turn we would spit the profits. So opening my own business was definitely a plus and it meant that I could keep all the money I received and in turn add to my savings.

Since I have knowledge with the mechanics to motorcycles I had been wanting to open my own business because previously I used to borrow tools from a colleague. With the money I managed to open my own shop for fixing motorcycles and so I needed to get some tools to assist me in my shop. I managed to purchase an air pump for the tyres which went for five hundred kenya shillings, a pair of side mirrors costing two hundred and fifty kenyan shillings, a clutch cable which went for one hundred and fifty kenyan shillings and a box of tyre patches which accumulated to three hundred kenyan shillings. Meanwhile the transport to and fro was three hundred kenyan shillings of which I added from my personal savings.
