What did you spend your third transfer on?
I invested 35,000 KES of my thjird transfer on Hair dressing products business ( hair pieces, weaves and others) which was only done this month of January, the delay having been occasioned by temporary political unrest in the region. And by the way,I had earlier on started a second hand clothes business using 25,000 KES of my second transfer , but paused operations due to frequent riots as at the time, though I intend to bring over the clothes and run the business as one.
