I spent 25,000 KES to pay college fees for my son and another 15,000 KES spent on additional fees for another child in the university. I then spent 7,000 KEs on getting broilers to sell and the rest went on daily household expenditure.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
Before I got this money, I had so much stress on how my two children would proceed with their college education;but now am settled as they have all reported and I therefore have no shame of staying at home with them.

What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to spend my transfer on paying school fees for my three children where one is in Eldoret University, the other is in Kabianga University and other in Mawego Technical. I will use part of the transfer to increase my stock of chicken where I can sell them and get food to eat.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
The achievement I am proudest of is that my husband died and left me with kids when they were very young and I did not have anyone that I could rely on for assistance so I just used my business of rearing chicken and selling groceries to take care of them till the level they have reached in education and life.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face in my life is that school fees for my children who are in college is very high and most of the chicken that I rear died due to outbreak of disease so it has really affected me financially as I depend on them for a living and school fees for my children.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is when I go to my farm in the morning to plough it,I feel happy when I plough it because it is all I depend on for a living.
