What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer on building an iron roofed house at 20,400 KES, bought a table at 6,000 KES, a mattress at 3,000 KES, two sacks of maize at 12,000 KES, used 2,000 KES to attend a funeral then used the rest of the cash on food and other little house items.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am no longer rained on while cooking in the open because I have a kitchen and I also sleep well because I now have a good mattress, unlike before when I used to sleep on an old mattress.

What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I face is the inability to provide basic needs for my family like food and clothing. I only depend on casual labour which pay very little.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the afternoon when I read the Bible. I am a born again christian.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
I am so happy and excited. This is the financial breakthrough I have been praying for. I am going to renovate my house, do a rough cast on the walls and cement on the floor.
