What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer on additional stock for my plastic shoes business (7,000 KES) and the rest of the money on assorted food items for my family.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received my money I felt special because it happens that my business stock (plastic shoes) was getting less and less due to the high Cost of Living and it was almost collapsing. I therefore thanked God since I could revive it by re-stocking.
