Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
My daily life's biggest difference is the happiness I feel having managed to build my own house and moving in to my own compound. I am now an independent person. Prior to this, I was renting at the trading centre and making ends meet while paying rent was a big challenge.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received my money, I felt so happy that I had got money that would enable me to build on my already existing plot of land.

I then gave my husband part of the money to boost his clothe business.
I then used the balance to cater for family needs such as feeding, among others.
