What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer on building a 3-roomed house (45,000 KES), a goat (2,500 KES) and the balance on assorted food items.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily is that my family lived in a rental house where we paid 500 KES per month, but from now I will begin saving the money since the GD transfer has facilitated us to put up our own house. Additionally I have my own goat that will soon start multiplying and serve as a source of cash especially in emergencies.Thank you very much.

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 during the dry season, I bought high density mattress for a more comfortable sleep since the one I had was small and the remaining amount I spent to buy food for my family.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
When I received the money, I was very happy because I was not expecting to receive the money. I immediately knew that my life was going to change and I will be able to buy all that I lacked. Thank you GD for the transfer.
