What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on buying two heifers that I am currently rearing. The remaining I spent on buying furniture. I used to have very old-fashioned seats and repaired my motorcycle that was not in a good condition. With the motorcycle in good condition, I am able to do my taxi business without any problems of repairs.

What did you spend your second transfer on?
When I received my second transfer, I built a semi-permanent house of 22 iron sheets in my new home where I enjoy peace that I had been craving for in my entire life.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference that I can mention in my daily life is peace that prevails and I enjoy in my new home. After receiving the transfers, I built and moved into my new home where I enjoy all the privileges like peace, autonomy and privacy as opposed to living together with parents and siblings in the same compound.
