What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on buying bulls for ploughing and one for milking. I never had any cows in my cow shed and hiring bulls for ploughing was expensive and I could not also plough in time, I can now plough my farms in time and even plant in time, I am glad I now have my own cows.

What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent 41000 KES of my second transfer on buying 3 cows. I then used the rest of the money on buying a mattress and food.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
I used to take care of peoples cows but this was not reliable because they would take them whenever they wanted but now I have my own cows. I now feel so proud and independent. This is the biggest difference in my daily life.

When I received the money, I was very happy because I was now very sure to till my lands and buy hybrid seeds for planting which will in turn increase my yields.

What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My biggest hardship is finding a way to feed and paying my children school fees.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My happiest part of the day is at night. This is after a long day of trying to make end meet and finally getting time to rest.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money is going to change our lives completely. I feel like God has answered my prayers and I feel good to be one amongst many. School fees has been a big problem to me hence I will prioritise paying it first. Secondly, I will purchase some livestock to help me with farming and some I will open a small business as well.
