I used the last cash transfer to pay school fees arrears for my child. My eldest daughter had also cleared her secondary school education but she had not cleared her school fees balances, so the school detained her certificate. I had to pay ten thousand shillings in order for her to be given the certificate.

I spent my second transfer on building an iron roofed house at 37,800 KES for my children, paid 4,000 KES school fee for my child in high school, then used the rest of the cash on food and other home errands.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that my children no longer go to sleep in a neighbour's home as before because they now have their own house, this is a great achievement in my life because it's something that I have longed for since I built my own compound five years ago.

I spent my first transfer on tractor hire and ploughing of 2 acre piece of land (6,000 KES) for more efficient production of food, a little Secondary school fee (2,000 KES) for my son who actually came home for half-term, as well as assorted food items (1,500 KES)

The moment when I received my money I felt excited to a level that words cannot express; this is because I had been waiting for this money with a lot of eagerness and anticipation because a thorough awareness had been done at the onset, and this money would relieve some of the financial burdens that I have.
