What did you spend your second transfer on?
When I received my second transfer, I used 22000 KES from it to buy a cow plus her calf which I now milk. I also have a sugarcane farm, which I used 4600 KES to cultivate this season. The balance was all used up in paying school fees for my children and buying foodstuffs for my family because we did not have enough foodstuffs in the house.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I now own a cow that I milk daily, thus I get my own milk or my family's consumption.
