Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is the joy I have regained by seeing myself in a spacious house which I never knew I could have since before the transfer I was staying in a small squeezed house that couldn't accommodate my family members comfortably. I am also practicing livestock rearing which I have been longing for and I couldn't because lack of money.

What did you spend your first transfer on?
I received my first transfer when my child in a secondary school had been sent home for school fees arrears of 5000 KES and therefore I sent him back to school with the money and the rest facilitated his shopping. He is an orphan and therefore when I received the money, I knew the child would now continue with his education.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received the money, I felt very elevate. My spirit had gone low when an orphan that I had adopted had been sent home for school fees and I never had money to settle the arrears.
