I spent my entire third transfer on completion of our 4 room house which we started building using our second transfer because we were literally stuck and did not have a house but lived in a tiny hut, until GD grants bailed us out.

When I received my second transfer, I had just established a home as per the requirement of the customary law, but has had not constructed any house in the new compound apart from the canvas structure I had put up for a start. I therefore purchased 40 pieces of iron sheets and other building materials that I intended to use in construction of a permanent house once my third is sent. Apart from that, I dug a pit latrine in the new compound as this was something that could have been a real challenge on me. I am so glad today that my compound is fully set and very attractive to many who thought I would remain poor forever.

The biggest difference in my daily life is the accomplishment of the projects I had ahead of me which lead me into sleepless night since what I earned in a day was very little to even cater for my family's daily basic needs.

I spent my first transfer on Secondary school fee top up for our 2 children and also bought them school shoes and bags (8,000 KES), and spent the balance on dry corn (2,000 KES)..

The moment when I received my money I felt excitement since GD promise because a reality to me, and I could spend the money to reduce my children's fee arrears.
