What did you spend your second transfer on?
When I received my second transfer, I used 20000 KES from it to add more stock in my retail shop so that I can get more profit from it. I then used 10000 to increase my fish stock too in-order to have better retails from the sales. The balance was spent on buying an ox-drawn plough, which people hire at a fee to cultivate their farms.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I now have more stock in my shop and my fish selling business has also expanded; both of which have significantly increased my family income.
