I spent the larger part of my second transfer on building a boat 40,000 KES and now my husband is using it for fishing .I also paid school fees for my child who is in high school 9800 KES
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is the joy of being self empowerment and independence that we have gained for the boat we have built and my spouse is now using if for expanding his fishing business and now the household income has doubled as we are able to provide basic needs for my family as all we are the ones benefiting from the business profits unlike before the transfer when my husband could rely on commissions from other fishermen boats''and this commissions were too little to support us.
