What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer for Secondary school fee for our nephew for 21,000 KES as he is very extremely poor and kept on being sent away from the classroom and my husband and I decided to support. I also bought a heifer as an investment, our strategy being that by the time the heifer calves 4 times we can sell the stock and build a house using the proceeds.

Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is having bought female cows which will reproduce and also produce milk. This means that in the future, I will not be buying milk and I will own not just the two cows I bought but more than that because they shall have reproduced. This is a great investment and will even help me pay my child's school fees when he joined secondary school and even college.
