"I spent my first transfer to buy iron sheets, sand, cement for building a house, bought a mattress, bed-sheets, and food."

"I have always felt ashamed to take my friends to my house because it was almost empty. I did not have seats, and we used to sit on my mattress, unlike my friends who have developed in that area. When I received this transfer, I went to buy household items such as sofa set, cupboard and television which I felt I really needed in my house. Now that I have them, I feel very comfortable taking my colleagues to my house because I have good seats and we can be entertained with the televisions I bought. This makes me very happy."

"The biggest difference is that I can now sell water efficiently using a handcart unlike before I had to carry jerricans of water using my hands this was very tiresome. Besides that, I have an income from the water business and I also get enough having bought a new mattress. Generally there is a very big difference ever since I started receiving the transfers."

I still have 3000 KES which I am saving for emergencies."
