What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on booking for milk for my children (9,000 KES) which I use to make white tea for my children because nutrition is very important.

What did you spend your second transfer on?
Since my household is full of total orphans, when I received my second transfer, I bought for them clothes and food. Even when people were complaining of tough economic time and famine but we eat better. Food and clothes cost me 9000 KES and constructed for them a better place to sleep.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that currently, I run a barber shop and a general shop-selling packets of bread, and other low order goods. I started the businesses with the first transfer and they have kept me committed since then. I can now earn from them and fend for my household members more easily as opposed to before when I fully relied on my husband to provide everything-due to his low income, he could fail us.
