What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer on buying a sack of maize at 4,000 KES, paid 3,000 KES school fee for my child in high school then used the rest on food and other little house items. The money came when we had gone for two nights without food and that's why I immediately rushed for maize before anything else.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
I was so excited, jumped up and laughed when I received the transfer then I called my child (my helper) to confirm for me if it was real or I was dreaming.
