The remaining balance I spent to buy goats for my future use.

What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer on settling some pressing debt I owed a friend in the village. Besides that, I paid school fee for my children who are in an academy school. The school fee too was very pressing because the kids were already sent home to collect their school fees.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
I felt so good when I received my transfer which I may say arrived at the right time when I direly needed money to settle the debt owed both in school and for the village friend.

What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I have faced in life is when my husband lost his job and coincidentally my house was burnt down. We became homeless and we had to stay in my brother in law's house.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the evening after work when I manage to get money. I feel very happy because I use part of it to foodstuff for my family.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money was a good news to me. I was extremely excited when I heard that am enrolled into the program. This makes me because I plan to construct a bigger house and also start a small business.
