I spent my second transfer on building a 3-roomed house and relocating to our own land (44,175 KES).There are still only a few incomplete items remaining here and there.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my life is that I feel very happy and independent because my husband and I moved into our own home.It was not the same when we lived in my father in law's home, we would feel somehow oppressed.

What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer on dried corn (5,000 KES), school uniform and shoes for 2 of our children ( 1,500 KES) and the balance I spent on my treatment for myself and now I feel well.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment when I received my money, I suddenly felt confused and felt like laughing and again like crying at the same time. I was overwhelmed since I had never imagined myself having that much money, and so I had waited for it with great anticipation because we could get enough to eat, and our family Projects that had stalled for long due to lack of funds could now begin to take off. Thank you forever!!
