What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on buying a motor cycle (90,000 KES, of which 50,000 KES had been saved from second transfer ) . The motor cycle is for transportation business because I wanted to start an activity that would generate income for my family.This is necessitated by the fact that I am a mason and there are times I do not get work, so the income from my motor cycle business comes in handy.

Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have managed to cement my house into a semi- permanent house from a mud one which I was previously staying in and now I am no longer worried of incurring frequent expense of smearing it ,mainly on rainy season as rain used to destroy the mud and leave the walls in an unaesthetic state. I have also acquire my Kenya Certificate of Secondary education which had been with held by my previous high school for four good years due to school fees arrears which I hadn't settled and now I am so happy since I will further my education with ease and with confidence on application.
