What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent a portion of my third transfer on an ox which was to be added to the one that we already purchased using the previous transfers and used in ploughing our farms. Besides that, we renovated our house which was temporarily constructed due to shortage of funds. We therefore purchased steel windows and doors to replace the wooden ones that we had before. We also plastered the whole house which was previously made of cow dung and prone to damages by rain waters.

I bought an ox for ploughing my farms, constructed a kitchen house for cooking, paid school fees for daughter in secondary school and spent the rest of the transfer on buying food and clothes for my family.I want to replace the leaking grass thatched kitchen with an iron roof kitchen house.

I am relieved from school fees burden which has been a big challenge to us.My children are no longer sent away from school to get school fees. life is more comfortable and peaceful when I have money to spend on my own needs. Thanks to GD.

What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to inject more capital into my business. I sell sweet potatoes and if I increase the quantity that I usually buy from nearby farms I will be able to get more profit.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is having bought household items like plates. I was able to do this by diligently saving the profits I gained from selling sweet potatoes.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face right now is lack of a sustainable source of income for myself. My small business is not very profitable and sometimes I cannot afford basic needs like three nutritious meals for my family.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning if I wake without any illness and therefore I can thank the Lord for blessing me.
