"I was able to spend most of my transfer buying a poshomill machine that I've been using to run my new business. Building a structure for my poshomill also uses most of my transfers. I'm glad I took that step because I'm now a business owner and I can cater to my family comfortably"

"I used KES 35000 to buy livestock that I now keep. All along I had wanted to buy one of my own but the casua work that I relied on was hardly enough to meet our daily needs and at the same time save. I could only wait for an opportune time like this to be able to get money for such investments. I used the remaining amount to pay school fees for my two children who are in various schools. I am glad that I was able to pay school fees in full for the first time and this time round my children will be in school all year round."

"My goal was to open a local groceries shop which I have already achieved. I'm now looking forward to expanding it."

This situation has really affected me emotionally and physically and I am only hoping for a quick recovery so that I can get back on my legs and start doing my normal chores and jobs to support my family."
