I spent my first transfer on purchase of bedding (5,700 KES) and an expectant goat that is soon having kids (4,000 KES).

The moment when I received my money I felt absolutely happy (laughter) because at that point in time, we as a family lacked a number of basic items including adequate bedding, and I knew at least we could buy some, and other items as well.
