What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent a portion of my third transfer on two cows as a way of investment so that in future after they have given birth I can sell one of the calves to help in paying my children's school fee. Part of the money I used on opening a business so that I can have more income and add to the little I earn out of the casual work I do.

What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer on buying two cows. I used part of the money to move from the house I was staying to a better house that is secure and has sanitation and used some on opening a business.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
My life has really improved and I even look different physically, people are surprised. This is because I now have a source of income so I can easily meet my needs without asking or borrowing from people.I can also afford a peaceful sleep while it rains because I'm now staying in a good house. This has relieved of me of the stress I had.
