What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent a larger portion of the transfer to build iron roofed house. I also purchased corns for family consumption with the remaining 1,000 KES.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I now have a house that doesn't leak. I was living in a heavily leaking house but couldn't repair it due to financial constraint. In fact I used to remain awake when raining because the roof was leaking all over.
