I bought 35 iron sheets for 25,000 KES and a bull for 20,000 KES. The rest of the transfer was spent on other daily HH expenses.

I constructed a pit latrine with the first transfer and now I do not have to go to the bush to answer calls of nature. The bull I bought also helps me in ploughing my farm.
