"This money means a lot to me. My house fell during the rainy season. It was until recently that I started making some bricks to build a new house. The house I am living in now is incomplete and I asked the owner to live in it as I wait to build mine. As soon as I receive my transfer, I will buy already baked bricks to build a new house. I will use the bricks I am making to build a kitchen."

"Before receiving my transfer, I used to work in one of the bakery shop in Limuru town. The pay was at times low and I would be forced to take loans in order to meet my family's basic needs and also pay for my house rent on time. The transfers enabled me to open my own shop and due to this, I am able to meet my family's needs on time. Also, I get to practice what I love most without any restrictions. Being self employed had made my life different that how it would have been had I not received the transfer."
