What did you spend your third transfer on?
I did spend my transfer to settle school fees for my daughter who was then in high school. I paid a total of 27,000 KES. I bought a goat at 3,000 KES and 4,000 KES to purchase a new high density mattress. The remaining amount was spent on house up keep. Since the receipt of the transfers my life has been more sustainable unlike before.

What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer on paying school fee for my 2 children in school who had always learnt under very tight situations following the poverty level at home. Besides the school fee, i purchased some livestock, a cow and 2 goats which I planned keep in my home. The rest of the transfer was spent on food for the family.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is the relief I have found in looking for school fee for my children. I no longer have to work tirelessly the whole day in order to raise them school fee.
