I spent my third transfer by giving my husband who payed bride price to my parents. I also added 4,000 KES to our Tinsmith family business that we started a few months back by investing 26,000 KES from my second transfer .We make and sell metal storage boxes, charcoal burners, frying pans and other items in Busia County. My husband reports to me that in just a few months' his stock of metal boxes has almost doubled from 30 boxes to 50 boxes, since he is currently saving money in the form of stock. The stock is not really selling fast at the moment but this is good investment. Before GD transfer, my husband worked for someone in the same industry but GD Grants provided an opportunity to start our own venture. Personally I had invested 15,000 KES from my second transfer on clothing materials which I used to buy from Busia where our Tinsmith business is, and sold them in the nearby markets. However, I later changed to sell tomatoes as they move faster than clothes. So far with my proceeds from tomatoes, I have already bought a goat worth 3,500 KES and spent another 3,700 KES on family emergency. The business is doing well.I thank you.

I spent 4500 KES of my second transfer on my niece medication. I used 26000 KES to boost my spouse business. I bought a cow at a cost of 11000 KES and saved the rest of the money for future use.

Previously I used to find it hard raising money to buy food for my family but now that we have a business we can easily meet our daily needs. We are also able to save some money for use in future. This is the biggest difference in my daily life.

I spent my first transfer on buying a solar lamp 3500 KES and now I no longer incur frequent cost of buying paraffin to use on the traditional larten. I also bought 27 tins of maize 3000 KES and other household expenditure 3300 KES.

The moment I received my first transfer, I felt very happy since at that time I was experiencing shortage of food in my household and I didn't have money as a result upon seeing the money I immediately run to the Mpesa agent to withdraw this money and bought food.
