What did you spend your third transfer on?
I built a three room kitchen with my third transfer. I did this because I have grown up boys and girls who needs their privacy so each of them have their room while the third room I use for cooking. I added one more goat to the three that I bought previously with the second transfer. I then used a smaller portion on buying a few households that I lacked and food.

What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent 13200 KES of my second transfer on buying goats for rearing. I used part of the money on buying building materials (irons sheets and nails) that I'm planning to use in building a new house since my current house is too old and leaking. I also used 10000 KES on buying maize for consumption and beans for farming.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is having hopes of soon building a decent house which is not leaking because I have already bought the biulding materials required. This will save my households from being destroyed by rain and my family too won't have to wake up at night wnenever it rains to get shelter.
