"Our family has saved a lot of time and energy by not having to go to the river every day, and the water is now cleaner and safe for us to drink thanks to the $320 water tank I was able to purchase with my second transfer. This tank holds enough water for domestic use as well as for the cows to drink. This water tank will also be very important because it will allow me to undertake irrigation in the event of little or no rain. I used the remaining $210 to pay off a sizable school debt that had accumulated over two terms for my two high school students."
