Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
My life is much better because through this cash transfer, I have got where to farm this season without renting. In the past, I rented farm land from other people and who could put me on pressure to harvest my crops when they hadn't matured. In addition, I also purchased an ox. I intend to get into partnership with my father so that we can put our oxen together.

The moment I received my money, I felt very happy because I was sure of buy an ox and getting where to farm.
