What did you spend your third transfer on?
When I received my third transfer, I opted for a new house since the one I had prior had been infected by termites and could collapse any time. I am so happy today that I no longer fear any risk associated with the collapse of a house and more so during rainy seasons. I must extend my heartfelt gratitude to the organisation for seeing me through this and transforming my life to a higher level.

What did you spend your second transfer on?
When I received my second transfer, I cleared school fees balances for my daughter and son in a secondary school worth 25000 KES and spent the rest on 30 iron sheets that I will soon be using for the construction of a better house. I believe that education is a better investment too since my children will soon start helping me in the near future after getting good education.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference that I can mention in my daily life is that currently, I educate my children with a lot of ease. They are no longer sent home for school fees hence peaceful state of mind for all of us (me and my two children).
