What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on building a kitchen as a priority since I had cooked from the open for over ten years due to lack of finances and often got inconvenienced. I spent the balance on finishing and fixtures for my existing house . I spent the balance on a bag of dry corn for consumption.

What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent 26900 Kes of my second transfer on plastering my house, bought a cow @14500 Kes and a sack of maize @4700 Kes. I also bought my son school uniform and spent the rest on food.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I managed to plaster the whole of my house. This has improved my family health since before I lived in a very dusty house which was a breeding ground for pests like lice and jiggers which infected my family but today, the condition has changed since we live in a much cleaner environment. My children's relationship even with other children and teachers has greatly improved since they have become much confident than before. This I believe with intern influence their performance at school.

I spent my first transfer on buying my children new school uniforms since theirs were very old and torn. I then spent some on buying a sack of corn and some food stuffs for my family's feeding.

I was very happy and went immediately to an mpesa shop to withdraw the cash because I wanted to have the hard cash in my hand to believe that the money was real.
