Currently, I am more independent now as I hardly depend on my relatives for any financial support. I can afford to eat healthy food for consumption, dress well and I can also buy household items to beautify my house. I do not have to depend on my husband for financial support.

I have a new goal of buying building materials like cement and sand that I plan to use to plaster my house.

The biggest difference in my daily is that I was able to buy salon equipment to help in making my hairdressing job easy. I depend mainly on the business to raise income for my family. I get the profits to buy food daily for my children, pay their school fees in time and also buy them clothes to put on their back. I cannot thank GD enough for enabling me to be more independent. I no longer depend on my relatives for financial support especially my husband. In fact, there are fewer conflicts between my husband and I.

I shall venture into livestock rearing for the financial security of the family. This will help in generation of income to change our lifestyles.

I have been able to learn a hairdressing job which generates income on a daily basis. My family can now eat well as I have been able to get food every day without fail despite it being a good or bad day. Initially, food was a luxury. We only ate on days that hustle and business were good. Failure to earn income was equivalent to sleeping without eating. We also teamed up with my husband and pooled the transfers together and paid school fees for our children and now they can concentrate on their studies and have ample time studying.

I want to save some more and start up a hairdressing business to help me earn some income for the family.

I shall have improved my lifestyle by paying school fees for my children, buying them clothes and food for consumption get a bumper harvest from my farm. I expect a good harvest too as I have invested in good seeds and fertilizer. With sales from the farm proceeds, I will be able to improve the condition of our house and even ensure that food is never a hiccup in my household.
