What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent the whole of my second transfer on building a house.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is having a descent house. I am now more peaceful because the previous house I had was a leaking grass thatch and part of it had fallen. This was so risky and we were afraid it could fall on us anytime especially during rainy seasons.

What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My biggest worry has always been the poor state of my grass thatched house which would mostly leak during rainy seasons making our lives very uncomfortable.
What is the happiest part of your day?
In the morning when I wake up healthy, am able to do labour work in the farms in order to fend for my family and this makes me happy.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
It will go a long way in helping me put up a decent house, my current house is a dilapidated grass thatched house and this has always given me sleepless nights.
