"Upon receiving my transfer, I thought of investing it in fencing my land. This is because I wanted to feel safe and also avoid outsiders passing through my land. Thus I used KES 16,000, I then used KES 2800 in buying a big water container. In addition to that, I bought a sofa set and bedding. I was unable to achieve the above due to an unreliable source of income. I am grateful for the support that changed my living standards in a short time."
