What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent most of my second transfer to buy cattle which was used to pay my dowry. I bought building materialist like iron sheets, timber and nails which I have used to build my kitchen which also serves as a sleeping space for my children. I bought bedding for myself since the ones I had, were worn out and the remaining amount I spent to buy solar which has saved ma the burden of buying kerosene.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
I was the only one among my siblings whose dowry had not yet been paid and this was stressing me up but now my daily life is different in that, my dowry has been paid and this has earned me respect from my siblings and my spouse is now also very much respected as a son-in-law. Thank you GD for the transfer.

I felt so good when I received my transfer which I may say came at the right time when I needed money to buy food for my family.
