What did you spend your second transfer on?
I bough two cows with a larger portion of the transfer. I also used the rest of the transfer to repair my motorcycle.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my life is that I now have a good flow of income from the motorcycle business. I was facing a lot of financial constraints because the motorcycle was grounded and could not repair it due to financial constrains. Apart from that, my house is completely smart after repairing it with the first transfer.

What did you spend your first transfer on?
When I received my first transfer, I spent it on food. It was a whistling hunger before then and therefore we never had something to eat till we received the money. I am just grateful for this!

The moment I received my first transfer, I felt very happy since I was assured of resuming my development plans that I had halted for long like constructing a house and expanding my farming activities.

What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face right now is lack of sufficient income. My spouse is a motorcycle taxi driver and he has to hire a motorcycle everyday, after paying the fees for hiring the motorcycle he is often left with very little money which we have to survive on and this cash barely caters for our essential needs.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is around midday when I am having my lunch together with my family. Whenever I am eating I always feel very happy.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means that my family can live a better life because I will be able to start a small business selling fish which will supplement my husband's income and enable us to provide adequately for our family.
