What did you spend your second transfer on?
Since I was jobless before without capital for any business, I took 25000 KES from my second transfer and invested it into second hand clothes selling business. I then bought 10 bags of cement which I will use to plaster my house to make it more strong and attractive; and used the balance on foodstuffs since the harvest last season wasn't good.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference the transfer has had in my daily life is that I now have my own business with a sustained income thus I am no longer stressed over small household experiences because I use my profits to foot my family bills.
