"When I received my transfer, I spent KES 24,000 to purchase a dairy cow. I settled on this so that when it reproduces, I will be able to save the money I would otherwise use in buying milk. I am now glad since I will be able to use KES 1800 that I would have used in milk on something else. Also, I spent around KES 7000 on poultry by buying some chicken. Using the remaining amount, I bought four sacks of maize, some food stuffs and clothes for my family."

I plan to use 400 dollars for the construction and 200 dollars for business expansion. I plan to spend the rest to purchase a second hand motorcycle to ease my transportation."

This is because I now have a water tank that I use in harvesting and storing rain water. Also, I was able to acquire a dairy cow using my transfer. Due to this, I am optimistic that I will no longer be buying milk daily very soon. In addition, I now have some assets like goats that I can easily convert to cash when faced with financial challanges like paying school fees for my children. Being able to accomplish all these has made my life different than how it would have been had I not received the transfer."
