What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer on iron sheets and nails (10,000 KES) as part preparation towards building a new house when I receive more money.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment when I received my money I felt a great thrill because at least my family was going to build a decent house much sooner than would have been possible had it not been for GD transfer; It happens that our earnings are too low and this has been challenging to us.

What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face right now is lack of enough money to adequately cater for my families basic needs. At times they are forced to have only one meal a day due to financial difficulties and this often makes me very sad.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is around midday when I am sitting together with my friends and we are chatting. We often laugh and crack jokes and this makes me very happy.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means that my spouse and I can start a small business which will supplement our income and ultimately improve our lifestyle.
