What did you spend your third transfer on?
I used my last transfer to dig a borehole it was tiring going to fetch water in the nearby river I also bought some chicken for poultry farming I did this because it is a lucrative business and the demand for eggs and chicken is high in our area and the hotels around finally I paid fees for my two children who are in high school.

What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer on constructing a borehole at my home so that I can get clean water for domestic purpose easily. I also spent part of the transfer to start poultry keeping so as to get income to feed and provide for my family and the remaining cash I spent on paying school fee for my daughters in high school.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I no longer fetch water for domestic purpose at River Nyando, which is very far a way as I have borehole at my homestead. I've also started poultry keeping which now is a source of income for the daily upkeep of my family. Thanks to GD.
