"I had bought building materials using my second transfer so, when I received my third transfer, I built a new house. A spacious one. The one I had before was so squeezed and anytime I hosted visitors, I had to take them to my co wife's house to spend the night as the house was too squeezed to accommodate more people. The remaining I spent on boosting my fish mongering business. I can comfortably take care of my family."

And this is just from the profits of this business, while our 30,000 KES is still intact. The business has created employment for 2 Casual workers whom we pay 500 KES daily. So far life is looking good, and I am very grateful to GD so much I have no words to thank you, as before the grants life used to be very difficult for us since we had no income .In addition, I am personally engaged in second hand clothing business ,the starting capital of which was 10,000 KES from my second transfer. I sell children's clothing and have currently a saving of 7, 000 KES , and clothing stock valued 8,000 KES. Currently my business is paused as I wait for the political temperature to cool down in Bondo."

I also feel so happy that I have paid dowry for my wife and now I have regained respect from my - in- law ,its a good feeling indeed."

"I have a son in Egerton Univesity taking a Bachelor's Degree in Agriculture but paying his fees has been a great problem to me, as a result his learning has not be consistent due to huge fees arrears till I received third transfer that I used half of it to clear the arrears.
