What do you plan to do with the cash transfer?
Getting this cash transfer means a lot to me that I will be able to acquire a large piece of Land that is in a safe place without landslides, like in Mabale centre at $805.88, two cows at $537.25 for milk production and I also believe that these two cows will multiply into more cows. for development. The remaining cash transfer I will use it to pay school fees for my two school going children in Ifapa parish.

Am happy in the last six months I was able to give birth to a baby boy who is the fourth child now in our family in April this year.I am grateful to God, because it was a safe delivery.
