What did you spend your first transfer on?
My child had been sent home for school fees; so I used 3000 KES from my first tansfer to pay his fees so that he could be allowed to go back to school. I also bought half a sack of dry maize for my family's food because we had run short of food. I then used the remaining amount to buy 6 iron sheets on which I intend to add so that I construct a new house for my family.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment i received my money, I felt so happy because I was stuck with my child at home while his colleagues were in school, so I paid for him the fees balance immediately to allow him return to school.
