What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent 42000 KES of the second transfer on purchasing building materials (iron-sheets, timber, steel door, nails) and building labour.
Thereafter, I spent the rest of the money on food.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my life is that I currently own a house, unlike previous when I was a renter.
Possessing a house has saved me a lot of money which I channel towards other equally important needs.

What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent most of my transfer to buy bed and a mattress because I was sleeping on a mat which was worn out. I also bought a bag of maize for my family's consumption.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
When I was enrolled in the program and promised money, I never believed and thought that GD was just like other NGOs which promise but do not do what they say. So, when I got the money as promised, I was short of words and joy cannot describe how I felt but I thanked God for his blessings and GD for the surprise. God bless you.

The achievement I am proudest of is that I am able to take good care of my self.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
I have been sick for so long and couldn't walk. This has been my biggest hardship.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning when I wake up because God has given me life.
