What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on relocating from my father in law's land and building a 3 room house on our own land for 47,000 KES. We were expected to do this sooner or later according to the Luo traditions, but we thank God that Gd support has facilitated us to do it sooner than expected.

What did you spend your second transfer on?
When I received my second transfer, I constructed a semi-permanent house of 25 iron sheets in my own home. I can enjoy the full benefits one enjoys in his/ her home for example executing my development projects such as farming.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that currently, I live in my own home. This has really given me autonomy and freedom to make decisions and execute my development plans without much consultation. Initially, when I lived with my in-laws I lacked freedom to make decisions and act upon them.
