What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer on buying building material such as timbers and putting them up to support the iron sheets that I am yet to place in my permanent house that I had started constructing with my savings to make it an iron sheet roof.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am hopeful that my dream of completing the construction of this permanent house will come true since it has been pending for a while now due to lack of money to complete it.

What did you spend your first transfer on?
I have not yet spent my first transfer, I am saving it as I wait for the next transfer to enable me complete my planned house -roofing Project once and for all.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received my money I was over-excited and jumped up and down since I would carry out a house roofing Project that had stalled due to low finances; It happens there were so many rumors in the village that confused me . Thanks a lot for the money.

What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Our biggest hardship is on the condition of our current house which is small and Squeezed for our big family.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My happiest part of the day is in the morning. I'm a casual labourer at our local beach helping fishermen to dry their fishes in the sun for some small payment which help me support my family.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means much to us,currently we stay in a thatched house with another house next to it which stalled due to lack of money. We will be able to finally complete the house and move out of our current thatched one which leaks much during rainy seasons.
