What did you spend your third transfer on?
I used the whole of my third transfer to buy building materials that I'm planning to use in future for building because we do not have a house and we are currently staying in a rental house. We had planned to build in October this year but due to cultural barriers we'll have to wait until next year to build.

What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent a larger portion of my second transfer on buying building materials ( iron sheets, nails and timber) which I'm planning to use in building my compound because I'm currently staying in a rental house. I bought a bag of maize at 4200 KES for family consumption and paid school fee of 2500 KES for my children.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is the hopes I have of soon building my own house because I already I have building materials ready. This will save me a lot on the cost of paying for house rent thus the money I'm currently spending on rent I'll divert on other things. I'll also feel proud as a woman having my own compound.
