"My focus is on building the new house and supporting the education of my children. I know that my husband struggles alot to put food on the table through charcoal making, and I would love to support him in doing these two things. When my savings hit $100, I plan to start buying building materials like iron sheets and tree poles for the new house. At the same time, I plan to be always paying school fees for my children so that they never miss a day of school due to unpaid tuition. I hope to achieve all these through the cash transfers."
