Receiving these cash transfers will be a dream come true for us, as we have been struggling financially to make ends meet. I intend to allocate KES 15,000 from the first transfer to purchase goats for my family, while the remaining KES 5,000 will be used to stock food and other essentials. My plan is to invest the second and third transfers into expanding my honey business.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am incredibly grateful that, through my honey business, I was able to build a four-room permanent house for my family. I also take immense joy in the well-being of my family, and this year, I was blessed with the arrival of my newborn, which has brought even more happiness to my life.
