Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
I'm so happy nowadays because I'm able to build a house of my own because I currently occupy my dad's house (boys quarter). In addition to that I able to get a prospect partner (spouse) because she's seeing progress in my house construction where we shall live in once we get married. Lastly I'm so presentable because I managed to change my wardrobe with new clothes.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
First and foremost during enrollment I was skipped but later I was enrolled into the program. So the day my phone was blessed my GD transfer I did not believe it but when I checked my MOMO balance multiple times I surely confirmed receipt of the transfer. I was so happy and I thanked God for this amazing blessing.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent part of my transfer on purchasing building materials and banked part of it such that I don't spend it wastefully since my priority is a iron roofed house.

Receiving this money means acquiring a driving permit that I will use for getting a well paying job. Currently, I do farming but it is not reliable to sustain my household.

My happiest part of the day is in te evening when I am resting. I do farming for most of the time during day and the only resting time that I have is in the evening.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I face is lack of a stabke source of income which even made me separate with my wife. I am relying on farming which is not yielding much profit to my household.
