"There was a family shop lying vacant at home. I operated someone's motorcycle who paid me on commission daily. The business is flooded and the highest amount I could make was KES 300 daily. With the current rise in the price of commodities, I could save any money. The receipt of the money motivated me to start up something for myself hence I stocked the shop that had stayed vacant for quite some time with food products, detergents, utensils, and other daily used household commodities at KES 25000. The business has grown, and I am making good profits from it. KES 25000 I spent on both constructing a poultry house and purchasing 12 chickens for rearing. I also bought two chairs at 3600 and used KES 1000 to purchase some foodstuffs for the family." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"I am a motorcycle rider and have been the main income earner in the family. Having a family of five to take care of, I strained to meet their needs and in most cases, I would end up in debt. This motivated me to purchase a dairy cow worth KES 37500 for my spouse so that she does not have to rely on me. As we speak, the cow has already given birth, and we do not only get enough milk for family consumption, but my spouse makes KES 180 daily from the milk sales. This is an additional source of income and it has made it easy for our family since they do not depend on me fully. In addition, I have a son in boarding primary school, and he owed the school an arrears of KES 5000 which I cleared with part of the first transfer. KES 5500 I used to offset a loan I had borrowed from our savings and loaning group in April to settle my son's school fees. The remaining KES 6500 I spent on enough different kinds of foodstuffs to keep my family for a while." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)
