What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on plastering my 2 room house for 30,000 KES to make our walls more durable and thus save me from frequent smearing that has been the order of the day before GD supported me. I then topped up the enrollment fee for our child who was joining the University for an Education for Sciences Course, we did a fundraising for the rest of the money

What did you spend your second transfer on?
When I received my second transfer, I constructed a house for my children. I have grown ups but not place for them to sleep and I noticed that it was not healthy to share with them the same room, and again as adolescents it was not good for them sleeping outside my compound.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that currently, I spend with my children together always both at night and during the day. This is after constructing for them a place to sleep and study as opposed to before when they never had a room or a house in my compound. They used to cruise in the dark to search for places to sleep and therefore it was not healthy and secure for them but I am glad the problem is solved!
