I used 6000 KES from my first transfer to pay the discount for acquiring a solar lighting system in order to save me the trouble of buying paraffin on a daily basis. The balance was used to buy 2 goats to rear in my home.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I no longer have to buy paraffin to have light in my house since I now have a solar lamp.
