How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
Our living standards have greatly improved. We acquired household items that we couldnot afford. With the cash transfers we managed to complete the plasrering of our house. We are now a happy family because of the cash transfers.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means having my own house. I had started construction of an iron sheet roofed house but now this money is going to make me realize my dream of completing it.

The biggest hardship faced currently is accommodation and paying children's school fees because the income I am earning is not enough to cater for everything.
