What did you spend your third transfer on?
I had started constructing a house ,but I did not complete so when I received my third transfer, I bought cement that I used to plaster my floor that was earthen. The remaining amount I spent some on paying school fees for my children who are in primary and secondary schools. I also started a mini kiosk business that is helping me take care of my family basic needs.

What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer on purchasing 2 cows which I intended to keep and later milk when they reproduce, and supply the milk to the nearby dairy firm for further supply. Secondly, I opened a shop in my homestead. Being a mother of 7 months old twins, I could not do any thing outside the homestead, therefore having this shop was the greatest idea to keep me busy in the home.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is the improved living standards that I have acquired lately following the new shop that I opened. I am so grateful for the organisation, may it live to see many successes.
