"I combined my third transfer with my son's and we partnered in buying a brand new motor cycle for transportation business. We hired it out and we are paid 900 KES each per week. On my part this has made a big difference since I get to pay Secondary school fee for our son, which was previously a problem. I also managed to borrow 50,000 KES from The Women Enterprises Fund for the first time because I have a share in an asset-Previously I could only borrow 5,000 KES at any one given time.In addition,I plan to enroll my daughter in a Teachers' Training College come this September since I will continue to save for the purpose."
