What did you spend your second transfer on?
When i received my second transfer, I used a total of 43000 KES from it to buy a boat and fishing nets which my husband uses for his fishing business. The balance was spent on buying 5 plastic seats because I had no seats in the house; and also used part of it to buy foodstuffs.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that our family income has greatly improved because my husband now gets better profits from the fishing business, since he does not have to pay anyone for the boat and fishing nets.
