What did you spend your second transfer on?
I plastered the walls and floor of my main house with sand and cement and fit unto it steel doors and windows which cost me the whole of my first lumpsum transfer.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
GD has changed my daily life since I am no longer seeking for long and short call in the bush but instead in my latrine which I built in courtesy of GD; my sanitation has improved which has eventually improved my health, the biggest difference in my daily life.

What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to buy materials to be used to build a pit latrine and repair my house, to do this I will need to buy nails, cement, sand, timber and also pay workers who will do the construction work.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is having worked as a green grocer and after saving for a long time I was able to construct my own homestead.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face right now is how to pay school fees for my children, the little income that I get from selling vegetables at the market might not be enough to fully fund their educational needs.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is around midday when I am selling my vegetables at the market, the atmosphere is usually very lively with my fellow traders joking quite a lot and this makes me very happy.
