"I used to sell clothes in the nearby shopping center before, but my business collapsed simply because it was our main source of income which we all depended on our daily livelihood, I have 4 children, 3 of them are schooling at the moment, My husband is in the business of buying and selling water, therefore when I received my transfer I used 300 dollars in purchasing a second-hand motorcycle that would help my husband in his business, In addition to that I bought 2 cows worth 250 dollars and 2goats worth 70 dollars, this came as a relief in our lives because we were struggling to make ends meet on a daily basis. Lastly, I used the remaining part of the transfer in restocking my business."
