Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I lived in a leaking grass-thatched house for 22 years and all the villagers knew it since my home is by the road side. I thank GD for making it possible for me to acquire a lovely new 3-roomed house, and all the people again know that things have changed for me.

What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer to buy a sack of maize for my family's consumption, bought school uniform for my child who is in high school and the remaining amount I spent to buy food and other household goods.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
When I received the money, I was very happy because at that particular time, I did not have money to buy food and my son did not have uniform or even school shoes. I was very much but immediately I saw the message, everything changed. Thank you GD for the life changing transfer.
