What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer on paying 6,000 KES school fee for my child in high school then used the rest of the cash to expand my fish business.

What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face right now is lack of enough money to pay school fees for my children who are in secondary school. If I am unable to raise the required amount they may have to drop out of school.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is around midday when I am relaxing after finishing all my chores. I often chat with my neighbours and this makes me very happy.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means that I can expand my business and this will translate into an increase in my income.
