"I will spend my transfers to invest in a new vehicle from the Uber company for my own Uber taxi business. They sell their vehicles to their drivers on hire-purchase terms. Currently, I am employed as a driver with the Uber Company. They sell their vehicles to their drivers at an initial fee of Kshs 50,000/=, after which you pay them an amount of Kshs 30,000/= every month for 3 years. I have always wanted to own one of their vehicles as an Uber taxi driver. I will acquire one with the transfers to maximize my profits. Secondly, I will purchase livestock for milk and beef production to be reared in my rural home in Murang'a County. Finally, I will save the remaining of my transfers."

"Receiving this money means that I will be able to build a home. I will use the transfer to buy a parcel of land and building material which I have not been able to do because the little earning from my business have been going into buying my family food, clothes and medical needs. I shall no longer be paying rent and all my savings would go into purchase of lifestock and expansion of my business."

"My desire has always been to buy a water tank for my family. We always go past three kilometres to fetch water which is always contaminated and in turn affect us healthwise. However, the Kenya Red cross has come in hand to ensure that we get supplied with water in our village. I will use the money from GD to buy a 4000 litres water tank and buy pipes to supply water direct to my homestead."
