What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on plastering my 3 roomed house for 38,000 KES which we built using the second transfer since we always lived in a mud house, prone to gaping walls but we did not have money to make a better one until GD supported us.

What is the happiest part of your day?

What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money has brought us joy in this family. There are some plans I have always wished to work on e.g building a bigger and better house for my growing family but due to lack of money I have been unable to achieve this. With this money coming though I know I will fulfill this wish. The rest of the money I will use to start up a small business to help generate some income in this family.
