Story

I would like to help my dear friend, Sammy, to buy a new motorbike for his transportation business in Nakuru, Kenya. Sammy has been by my side for over seven years now and has been completely irreplaceable. When I was just getting on my feet after moving to Kenya and founding my Charity, Start Small, Sammy was always there for me and I will always be thankful for the support he gave me and continues to give our Start Small team today. 

Anyone who has had the chance to visit Kenya and Start Small has  most likely been on the back of Sammy's bike! He has kept us all safe, given words of wisdom and kept us laughing. 

Sammy is in need of a new motorbike so that he can stop spending so much time in the garage fixing his current bike and focus on his business and supporting his family. 

Sammy is also a business man. He does not want this money to be given to him and rather has suggested that he pay the money back over the course of the year as he grows his business. As he pays it back, Start Small will then be able to put it into their 'microfinance fund' so that they can keep starting new businesses for the families of Start Small. 

This is an amazing opportunity to help an incredibly hard working, trustworthy and kind man and SO many more individuals who will benefit as this money continues to be used on loan, paid back and used again each year. 

Any excess funds raised will go directly to Start Small's 'microfinance fund' which will help to further more local business ventures in Nakuru!!
