"I am fortunate enough to have a piece of land that extends to the main road that is quite busy. I have always had a plan to start a business premise besides the road but I have not been able to realize this due to lack of capital. My dream of owning a shop there has been awakened after realizing that I could be a potential recipient. As a result, I intend to use approximately 80,000 shillings to construct and stock the shop. I project that I could be receiving a return of 400 shillings daily as profits from the sales in the shop." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"My usual day entails spending the whole day on the roads doing my motorcycle taxi business which involves ferrying my clients and other goods to various destinations for pay. The nature of my job is very risky especially riding on the roads full of reckless drivers, thus arriving back home in the evening safe and sound to reunite with my family is the happiest part of my day."
