What did you spend your third transfer on?
Having a cow has been my greatest dream but since I didn't have a stable source of income I couldn't buy it so when I received my third transfer I bought a cow to full fill this dream. I now feel so proud because I believe a cow is an investment. I also used part of the money to boost my business which is doing so well currently and it can sustain my family.

What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent a larger portion of my second transfer on building a new house because my previous house was too small and used 8000 KES to buy furniture because I didn't have any .
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I'm now contented because I own most of the things I needed but I couldn't afford. I'm now not worried or ashamed of hosting visitors too in my house because I won't have to borrow furniture from neighbors.
