What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on completion of construction of our kitchen (35,000 KES) that serves as sleeping quarters for my children because they used to sleep in our neighbour's house, which was uncomfortable for my family. I also bought a mattress (5,000 KES) , and finally a bag dry corn for our food (3,000 KES)

When I received my second transfer, I spent 15000 KES on 16 iron sheets that I will use for the construction of a kitchen and paid school fees for child in a secondary school. I felt the relief since the money reached me at the right time.

I have been lacking a lot in my life and this has been tormenting me psychologically. For instance, I can mention school fees which I lacked most but when I received the money and cleared the whole year fees for my child, I felt a great relief in my life which I enjoy till today.

What did you spend your first transfer on?
I received my first transfer the moment I never had even a table and therefore when I received it, the first thing that came to my mind was a table which consumed 4000 KES part of the money. The rest went to buying food for my family.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
I received my first transfer the moment I never had any money and I went to borrow from anyone one who was willing in our village to assist me so when I received the news that I had received it, I felt very relieved!

What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face right now is lack of enough money to pay school fees for my son who is in secondary school. If I am unable to raise the required fees he may have to defer his studies.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning because I the Lord has blessed me and my family with life.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means that I can finally buy some oxen and a ploughing machine which will greatly increase the acreage of land that I can till. This will lead to an increase in the amount of maize and sorghum that I can plant and harvest.
