I spent 30,000 KES to buy materials for construction of my house and the rest of the transfer will be used to pay for labour.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
My house is very small and the walls are dilapidated, but now I have hope of moving into a new house with better roofing and walls which will prevent me from worrying about living in a structure that is about to fall.

What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to build a new house because my house is old and can collapse on me anytime, set up a boutique business to be able to get regular income, and spend a little of the money on food.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is that I worked very hard to build my home after my spouse left me in a very small house in his parents homestead.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I face in my life is the burden that I have as a single parent because I am the breadwinner to my family and I have to work extra hard to raise my children without a proper source of income.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning when I wake up and is optimistic that the day will go well for me and my children.
