What did you spend your third transfer on?
I expanded my general shop that was initially not doing well due to lack of sufficient stock. I sell low order goods like packets of salts, packets of flour, packets of sugar and the rest of household items. Restocking cost me close to 20000 KES of the third transfer and I used the rest to clear 2-year school fees arrears for my 2 children in a primary school.

What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer as capital for a retail shop (47,000 KES), and the small balance on miscellaneous household items.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have finally achieved my dream (a Retail Shop of my own). It happens that I used to be employed in my sister's retail shop as a saleslady and this is one career where I can say I am most experienced but lacked capital to start off on my own. I am confident I will do well. Thank you very much.

What did you spend your first transfer on?
My business has improved! I run a small food cafe that I expanded with my first transfer. Initially, I used to run the food cafe in open air and this could explain low customers turn up but since I moved to a better house, I have been receiving more customers that have been sustaining the business even better.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received my money, I thanked God. I felt appreciative since God had just showered upon me his blessings. I would now improve my business.
