What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent 41500 Kes of my second transfer on plastering my house and the remaining 8300 Kes on food.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I managed to plaster my entire house and this has made me move to a higher level in life. I had wished to plaster my house but I lacked enough resources. Plastering my house has saved me from frequent house repair using local materials which I had to do everyone and had proved expensive in terms of time, energy and money. I can today keep my house very clean since it's much easier to clean.

What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship we face in our life is unmet needs and hardship in facilitating our affairs because of inadequate finances for lack of stable income source.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My happiest part of the day is the evening after I have worked and at least earned something.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money will help me finish constructing my house which I started but never finished because of inadequate funds. We will then have a better and spacious house and move out of the one we live in currently.
