What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer on buying an ox at 16,000 KES, used 16,000 KES to erect a chicken house, then used the rest of the cash to start a maize business.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I now have enough oxen for my plough hence I no longer depend on neighbours to help me with an ox so I cultivate my farms at the right time. Am also hopeful of getting very good returns from my chicken and maize businesses.
