What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on starting a business (assorted items like soap, cooking fat,etc) for my wife for 10,000 KES, and she also invested in Beans farming for 20,000 KES for commercial purposes. I gave her 15,000 KES to save to enable me complete my informal Welding and Fabrication training in the next few months.

What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer on extending my house and plastered the whole of it. The house was previously very small to accommodate my family, since I built it before I married and had children. Other than that, I spared a quarter of the transfer for daily operations as far as the family's daily needs are concerned.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is the new life style I have acquired. I am so pleased that I can afford all the three meals in a day with much ease, not as before when having an idea of when the next meal will be available was such a big challenge.

What did you spend your first transfer on?
My first transfer really walked us through a very difficult situation in life. It was a hard moment-famine season and we neither had food nor money to afford it and again, my wife was also suffering from an illness. And it is my pleasure that with my first transfer, we were able to overcome these.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received my first transfer, I felt very happy and thanked God for the blessings. This is because, I would now put food on the table from then.
