Where I stay right now there is no any operating shop. I am planning to open a shop and save my neighbors from traveling far in search of basic commodities. I am planning to borrow money from Merry go round and start the business hence return with interest after sometime.

What made me happy is receiving this money. It has boosted me big time. This is by getting a water tank and buying food for my family among other things. I therefore do not have any complains at all but to say a big thank you.

I am a mother of 6. I am a farmer of maize, vegetables and cassava. My husband works in a workshop. 2 garls and 4boys. I spent my first transfer on buying a 5000ltrs water tank which costed kes. 35000, I bought 3 garters at kes. 4500, bend at kes. 400, dropper, bags of cement, and paid the plumber kers 5000 to fix it. In total buying and fixing this tank coated me kes. 50000. With the second transfer, I paid kes. 24000 school fees for my daughter who is college studying salon, bought 18 bags of cement at keas. 630 each to make floor, to do plastering and the remaining amount I spent on buying cook ware, plates, food and other house hold goods. I am a mother of six,two girls and four boys, a maize, vegetables and cassava farmer. My husband works in a workshop.

I was on my farm planting trees that are aimed at improving the forest coverage in our country an initiative by Komaza Kenya. I remember it was about 7:30 am when I received the M-Pesa message from Segovia technology. At first, I could not understand it and I had to confirm the account balance only to be surprised by seeing KES 55,000. I was very happy for receiving the transfer that would help me in solving the problem of water shortage in my family.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am currently living a happy life after being able to acquire the water tank with my transfer. With this, I am able to collect enough rainwater for the family's consumption. I no longer have to walk 8 km every day with 20 litres on my head something that was tiresome.

For many years, I have been struggling to get clean water for my household consumption. Most of the time, I had to walk for more than 8 km to get water at the only dam in the village. Even though it was long-distance, the water there was also not safe for use. After receiving the transfer, I spent KES 31,500 to purchase a water tank with a capacity of 5000 Litres. Additionally, I bought 3 bags of cement, and gutters, and paid a labor cost of KES 5,500 for all the installations of the rainwater collecting system. Currently, I am happy that I was able to collect enough rainwater following the short rains that we received for two days. I no longer have to walk for search long distance and the time that I was using along the way I am investing in other beneficial activities. In addition, I spent KES 4,000 to support the education of my daughter who is in form 3 by paying part of her fees. Currently, she is happy learning without interruption and I am positive that her performance will improve this term.
