I used my last transfer to pay fee balance for my daughter in high school we had so much arrears in the school so we decided to offset some so that she would have peace of mind while studying, I also bought a solar lamp which we pay monthly 1000 KES with an installment fee of 5000 KES, this has in turn helped us with lighting in the house. Then I thought as a woman to have independence not to always rely on my husband all the time so we decided with my husband that I start a small business and opened a small shop where I sell food stuffs, the remaining money I bought a cow for ploughing.

I spent my second transfer on funding my spouse in payment of my dowry. I sympathized a lot with him whenever he received threats from my parents of snatching me from him if he fails to pay my dowry in time. Being jobless the spouse could not afford paying the dowry, therefore on receipt of this transfers, we gave the project a first priority. Besides that, I paid school fee for my daughter in form three. She had suffered a lot from the frequent time off school in search for school fee as others go on with their studies. This had impacted so negatively on her in terms of performance.

I have experienced a very big difference in my daily life. I feel so happy today looking at the kind of respect I receive from my family members which was not there before my spouse paid my dowry.

I spent half of my transfer on food and the other half on clearing school fees arrears that we had.

I am planning to spend my upcoming transfer on buying cows that will be taken to my place as dowry. Paying my bride price will make my husband to be recognized as my legal spouse among his people as well as my own.
