What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent the whole of my second transfer on building a three-roomed iron-roofed house.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that today I own and live in my own house unlike before when I used to live in my co-wife's house. I was so worried and had no peace in my co-wife's house since because I thought she could come back anytime and through me out of her house. But thanks to GD I now live peacefully without any worry.

What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Being without a house structure as a family head makes me feel dehumanized.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My happiest part of the day is lunch time (around 1 pm) when my family happily gathers a round a table to share a meal.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
We currently do not have a house structure and are hosted in the co wife's house. This transfer will enable me build my own house. Additionally, we are happy to acquire our own oxen and other farm equipment to sustain our family needs through farming besides buying foodstuffs for the family during this hunger period in my village. This makes me happy because my family does not go hungry.
