"I will spend my transfers to invest in a new business in the transport sector. I plan to buy a tuktuk for transportation services. There are no tuktuks around in mathare, I feel this will be a good business with high demand. I will also spend my transfers on livestock. I plan to purchase cows for milk production or beef, that can be reared back in my rural home. Finally, I will spend my transfers to pay school fees for my children."

"I will spend my transfers to expand my shoe-selling business. I sell men's shoes part time, in my neighborhood where I have a stall/shop that I stock the shoes. I will expand this business by incorporating both children and ladies shoes in my shop. Secondly, I will build a house for myself back in my rural home. In my culture, I am required to have built my own house in my paternal homestead by now. I had not built a house because I lacked finances. I am happy I can now build a house for myself and have a more respectable place to stay whenever I visit my home. Finally, I will use my transfers to go back to school to study professional "Waiting" services. I have worked as a waiter before at a hotel in Westlands in Nairobi county. I enjoyed this job and I hope to study to get more skills in "waiting" So I can have the chance to practice the profession."

"Receiving this money means that I will be able to buy a sewing machine so that I can start a tailoring business and part of it will pay school fees for my child who is joining secondary school next year. "

"Rent has been a problem to me so I intend to pay rent every month provide for food everyday and open a new business where I will be selling food stuffs for sustenance."

"I really want to first go back to school be it collage or vocational training so that i can get skills that will enable me to be self employed since where i work the cash i earn is too little to sustain my needs. Secondly, i would put up a business, salon, because thats what i have passion for. Thirdly, i want to pay fees for my child so that she can learn and have a better future for herself."

"According to me business is a priority because I know it will generate something more for me. For this reason, I would like to set up a shop for selling second hand clothes and shoes. Secondly, I would like to gain more skills in life that will enable me get a job that will entitle me to a salary which is extra income on my end that's is why taking myself to college and paying my school fee for building and construction engineering comes second. Lastly improving my family is also my priority and i hope to achieve this through paying for my sister her education fees. This will relieve the heavy burden on my father since i will be helping him out and stop my sister from constantly being sent home."
