Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
This financial help has enabled me construct an iron roofed house that is left with fitting a window and plaster. I am currently sleeping in grass thatched house that leaks whenever it rains given the scarcity of grass in our community. When I shift to my new house, I will be safe from the leaking roof.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received my money, I was overwhelmed my joy and gave thanks to God Almighty for sending financial help.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my transfer to purchase 10 pieces of iron sheets, timber, 4 trips of bricks, 3 bags of cement, a door, nails, ventilators, a trip of sand and paid labour for building.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means I will be able to build an iron roofed house.
The one that I have is grass thatched and it is hard to maintain.
Grass is so scarce these days.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am happiest in the noon time when I have had a meal on time.
I feel healthier.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I am faced with is limited space for cultivation.
My father gave me only a small piece of land which is not enough to sustain my household needs.
At the same time, I don't have money to buy more so I just have to bare with the situation.
