What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent a larger part of transfers to pay school fees for my children and for the first time I do not have arrears. I also built a toilet and I don't have to hide from public health officers who used to threaten me with arrest due to lack of a toilet.

What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer to construct a pit latrine. I used to use my neighbour's which was not convenient and sometimes could be locked. I also paid 20,000 KES school fees for my son who was in his fourth form.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my life is seeing my son clear form four without any arrears.

What did you spend your first transfer on?
I received my first transfer when educating my child in a high school was tormenting us a lot. Besides, I had some debts that were equally perturbing us and therefore we channelled the whole of it in equal proportion to paying school fees and debts respectively.
What are you planning to spend your upcoming transfer on?
We have a well established plan for our upcoming second transfer; fencing our home and investing in poultry farming are likely to consume the whole of it.
