What did you spend your third transfer on?
I took a loan sometimes back to buy a "tuktuk" for business, but I had not repaid it so when I got my third transfer, I repaid part of the loan using some transfer. I also bought sank a pit latrine as the one I had after the one was not in a good condition. The remaining I spent on paying school fees for my son in secondary school.

What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my transfer on building a new house since the one I was living in was very old. I then spent some on paying school fee for my children and then I bought school uniforms for my children. I then invested some into farming and the rest went into buying a solar lighting system to help my children in studying at night.
