"I always felt end month was coming up so fast as every time the landlord was at my door with a padlock asking for his rent. I was staying in a rented house and I could not raise the rent, Most of the time we could be locked out and my children could sleep in the neighbors houses so, when I received my third transfer, I bought building materials that I used to build my own house. I never imagined that the only concern I would have is to look for food, without having fear of approaching the landlord and bearing all the insults when he visited. I have a house now. My own house, no more landlord visits!!!!!"
