I used a portion of the transfer to repair the roof of my house by replacing the old iron sheets with new ones. Bought chairs worth 8000 KES. Purchased some water containers because I didn't have enough. Paid 8000 KES fee to my sister's child in high school. I also bought a goat and some family foodstuffs.
