What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent 27,000 KES of my third transfer on paying the last installment for a 1/4 piece of land to facilitate my family in food production as well as building since the current compound is small and not sufficient for all of us.I spent the remaining 20,000 KES on a heifer that is just about to calve, and from which my family will be able to get milk, and hopefully sell the calves in future.

What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent most of my first transfer to buy a sack of maize for my family's consumption. I bought school uniform for my children and also bought a goat for rearing and I can also sell it at a higher price when in need of money.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
When I received the money, I was very happy because I did not have maize for grinding or food for that evening. I immediately withdrew the money to buy food for my family. Thank you GD for the transfer.
