What did you spend your first transfer on?
I had been having some debts that were stressing me a lot since I never had means of settling them so when I received my first transfer, I settled the debts with 4000 KES and saved the rest of the money that I will use the moment I receive my second transfer for the construction of an iron-roofed house.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received my money, I felt very happy since the money came when I least expected it. In fact, I needed it most since I would settle all my debts that were stressing me a lot.
