What did you spend your second transfer on?
I used 25,000 KES to buy chairs. Built poultry house. I bought some chicks for keeping. Apart from that, I purchased my children school books and foodstuffs for family consumption.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I live in a house with a new roof which I replaced using the first transfer. Apart from that, the poultry farming which I ventured into is thriving well and provide my family with adequate income. Without GD, couldn't have done all these since I had no reliable source of income.
