What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent most of my second transfer to buy two cows because I know I will benefit from the milk they will produce through selling and earning profit, I also bought clay soil to repair the wall of my house, bought a mattress and one sack of maize for my family's consumption.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
I never knew that I would accompany my husband to the market to buy livestock or even have my own livestock. So, I can never hide my joy whenever I see my two cows grazing in my compound and know that whenever I am in dire need of money, I can sell one of my cows. This makes my day joyful.
