I spent my second transfer on buying building materials that I used to construct a new house. I used to live in a very squeezed house that could not comfortably accommodate my family and it was also leaking.

What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I have faced in life is lacking my own home because I pay so much money on rent yet my source of income only fetches some small amount of money that cannot sustain my family to my satisfaction.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is early in morning when I wake up. It's by God's grace that I get to see a new day so I always feel good when I wake up.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money will realy help us to improve our living standards as a community. It will enable me as an individual to have my own home since I live in rented house.
