"I used UGX 1,300,000 of my first transfer for buying a second hand bajaj motorcycle to ease movements for my family members. I paid school fees worth UGX 250,000, bought some medicine, clothes, curtains and food."

For a long time, I have had this desire to be self-employed and when I started receiving these transfers, I got so encouraged that I was finally going to be able to buy one and be self-employed. The motorcycle has enabled me to make enough income to sustain my family and also get the extra money made to pay back part of the pending loan that was accrued from buying this motorcycle."

Since I already own a motorcycle, delivering the products to the market would be cheaper. This is an investment I aspire to dedicate my time and first transfer to. With the remaining amount, about KES 25,000, I have a plan to set up a poultry farm and rear a hundred chicken in it. Both of these businesses will enable me build a house of my choice in the near future. Education of my children would definitely be secure too. " (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)
