What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent a larger portion of my second transfer on buying building materials (iron sheets, timber, nails) which I'm planning to use in building in future since I do not have a house and used 5000 KES on buying food.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is the happiness I have for having bought building materials so I have the hopes of soon having my own house. This a huge step I have made because as we speak I'm staying with my grandmum so having my house will be the greatest achievement in my life.

When I received my transfer, I felt so happy because I would be able to complete my secondary school education which has always been my desire. I knew I would be able to pay the other percentage of my school that is not catered for by Impact, the organization that took me back to school.
