We spent the first transfer to build a permanent latrine (20000 KES) and buying materials for extending my small house. I also paid school fees (15000)
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference is that we were living in a small house but now I have extended it. I have reduced the burden of paying school fees and built a latrine which we did not have before.

What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to spend my transfer on expanding my house by building a bigger one as I have a large family,I will spend part of it to buy furniture like a table and chairs, we will also use part of it to expand our business by increasing the capital which will including buying more stocks of vegetables and the remaining amount we will use to pay school fees for our children. We will also use part of the cash to buy a wheelchair for my husband as he crippled and needs something to assist him in moving about.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
The achievement I am proudest of is that we have been able to take our kids to school with the cash that we get from hawking vegetables until two of them cleared high school and are expecting to join college.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that we face is that four of our kids have been sent home for school fees and we also have a child who is supposed to join secondary school this month of February but we don't have ready cash to pay for them.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is when my children wake up early in the morning and they are sure of going to school without being sent home for school fees. This makes me happy as they are able to learn as the rest of the children.
