What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent most of my first transfer to pay school fees for my child who is in high school. I bought building materials like iron sheets, nails and timber which I have used to build sleeping space for my children and the remaining amount, I spent to pay laborers who built the kitchen.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received the money, I was very happy because I have never received such amount of money in my life and this made me very happy. Thank you GD for the transfer.

What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The greatest challenge I have faced has been paying school fees for my children, I only run a small business which has never been enough to cater for all our needs.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My favorite part of the day is morning,seeing my children off to school brings so much joy into my soul.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
I am so happy because my small business will grow once I receive my transfers and the people of Kanyipola village will longer travel long distance in search of basic commodities.
