What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent a larger portion of my second transfer on buying building materials ( iron sheets, nails) that we are planning to use in building my compound. We saved 10000 KES for future use.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is having peace of mind knowing that I'll soon have my own compound with a bigger house. The current house I have is too squeezed and I always feel ashamed whenever it comes to sleeping time because we can't fit in the house.

What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer on 2 bags of dried corn as seed for my wife's business (8,000 KES)and bought a radio (2,000 KES) to help us be updated with current affairs.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment when I received my money I was on my way back home in the evening, and I felt my mood lift because my wife had been selling dried corn and earning a commission, but with GD transfers we would be able to start our own corn business . I laud Organizations like GD that work transparently and keep to their promise to beneficiaries, thank you.
