"When I received my third transfer, I had two children in school with very huge school fee arrears which had to be settled before they sit for their final exams. I was glad that I received the transfer at that critical time. Besides that, I opened a kiosk that I currently operate. I am glad that I no longer idle and suffer from poverty as was the case before. If I remember my previous life so well, I lived a very poor life. I could not get food easily unless I walked around the village in search of casual jobs unlike today when food isn't an issue following the income generated from my kiosk. I have an improved living standard, courtesy of Give Directly."
