What did you spend your second transfer on?
I used a portion of the transfer to built my grandmother a house because her house was in bad condition. I'm still having some money at hand although I'm using them at this moment to organize my child's funeral service.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I live happily because my grandmother who was living in a leaking house is now safe after building her a nice house. In fact I was facing hostility from the villagers who believed that I had money but I didn't want to built her a house but in the real sense I was only surviving by the grace of God.

What did you spend your first transfer on?
When I received my first transfer, I spent 2300 KES on a mattress and used the remaining amount for completing my main house that I had started constructing and halted half way due to lack of money. I am now feeling good even if I work far away from home, I am certain that my household members are not rained on as before then-they live in a more comfortable house.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received my money, I felt very happy. This is because my household members would now live in a better house where their health would not be compromised.
