"I spent my third transfer on settling school fee arrears for my children in both secondary and primary schools. Raising these children's school fee has been a great challenge on my side as I mostly rely on donations from well wishers. Besides that, I purchased a cow that would in future multiply and fill my herd. Through this I will be able to count myself wealthy since livestock is perceived to be a sign of wealth in my community."
