Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have managed build a permanent toilet in my household since previously I had a weak semi-permanent toilet which eventually collapsed rendering my family and I to practice open defecation which was unhygienic practice that could predispose us on fecal-oral diesease. I have also completed paying my child's school fees arrears with the first transfer and now I am happy seeing her go to school with ease as opposed to before when she would be sent home on several occasions due to school fees arrears.

What did you spend your first transfer on?
When I received my first transfer, I spent 5000 KES on a lorry of sand and paid school fees for my son with the rest of the money. My son had been sent home for school fees and I found it prudent to clear for him all the balances since I value education .I am also in a secondary school pursuing my education.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received my money, I felt very happy. This is because I knew that my children and I would continue with their education which I value most in my life.
