What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on buying a solar lamp 12,000 KES which I am now using as a reliable source of lighting mainly at night as opposed to before the transfer when I used to use traditional lanterns that required paraffin and in the event that paraffin got exhausted no household activities would take place up to the next day ,this solar lamp I also charge my neighbors phones hence getting some income out of it.I also fixed a steel door and two steel windows in my house and completed cementing parts that I hadn't cemented .
