What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent part of my third transfer to tile my floor. It was a mud floor and most of the time it had potholes. My house is so neat now after the tilling. I also plastered my walls that were also made of mud and there were a lot of bedbugs as the mud was acting as their breeding places. This is no longer the case. My house is free from bedbugs currently.

What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent most of the money in buying building materials to repair my house which was in a poor state. My family now has a much more better place to call home and I know this will come a long way. Part of the money I spent on pipping water in my house. Water is life and having a constant source of it has saved me from the stress of fetching water from a far and at times going without it. The rest of the money came in handy in paying my sons medical bills when he was admitted to hospital after an accident. I thank God he is now healed.
