What did you spend your second transfer on?
We bought two cows for 36,000 KES, a steel door for 7,000 KES, school fees for 3,000 KES and bought a bag of maize for 1,800 KES. The rest was spent on other daily HH expenses.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The cows I bought have been of great benefit to me as they give me milk to sell and consume and also manure to use on my farmlands.
