What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on a heifer to provide our milk in future as well as an oxen that will be trained to plough as from next year(33,000 KES) so as to make our farming efficient.. I spent the rest on 5 goats (15,000 KES) that I intend to multiply and get a heifer eventually, which is more beneficial.

What did you spend your second transfer on?
I invested half of my second transfer in fish business which had been my dream business for so long but due to poverty, I could not sail through. I am glad that the business has kicked off so well and is currently generating me so much that I less expected. The other bit of it I used in paying school fee for my daughter in secondary school.

Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received my money I was thrilled because I confirmed for sure that GD money was real and not just a rumour, and I could buy seats that I had desperately been in need of for some time since my chairs had become very old and bad -looking. Thank you.

What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
We starve so much because we lack food which is a result of the drought we experienced in 2016 and early this year (2017). Since I get so little from my small scale business, it is not enough to buy food for my family, that has been my biggest hardship.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning when I wake up.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money will bring transformation in my life because I have always wished to do much for my family's well being but due to lack of money I have not been able do them
