What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer on purchase of 3 cows to provide milk for the family in future (43,000 KES) . I also supplemented Secondary school fee for 2 of our children (7,000 KES).
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my life is that my husband and I never expected to ever own a cow because of low and inconsistent earnings, but GD transfers have facilitated us to buy 3 cows and the daily practice of buying milk for home consumption will soon become history when our cows calve. We even plan to sell excess milk for income.
