What did you spend your third transfer on?
I have been living a life of frustration and struggles way before I had received my transfers.My house was a one room leaky grassed thatched house , staying with the five of us and when it rained it was a nightmare for us since rainfall could get through the space in the grassed thatched roof wetting the earthened floor where my three children were sleep on as they had covered it with a mat and an old small piece of a blanket. Spending my third transfer on building a three roomed newly iron sheet house is the joy that I can testify since I have the comfort of my house which I have long for .I bought a bag of maize ,millet and paid school fees for my two children who are in nursery school and primary school respectively.I also bought clothes, a goat and started a small retail business.

What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer on buying iron sheets, round poles and nails which are currently being used to build my (our) own home outside my father in- law's compound as tradition demands. I bought a cow as an investment and spent what I had left on food.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.

What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer on ploughing my farm with a track, bought one sack of maize, clothes and food for my husband and children.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
I was overwhelmed with joy! I jumped up and ran to my other relatives who were also registered to confirm if they had also received their money. We immediately left to withdraw the money without even minding our children who were almost coming from school hungry and expecting food.This was the best news in my village.Thank you GD.
