What did you spend your third transfer on?
Initially, I lived in a very dust house-the walls and floor of the house was made of mud and due to my old age, I couldn't managed to maintain it by smearing and reducing dust so when I recieved my third transfer, I cemented the house. since then, dust in it has reduced and I am no longer worried.

What did you spend your second transfer on?
When I received my second transfer, I used most of it to buy 17 bags of cement which were used to plaster my house. I then bought a blanket, a water pot and a sack of dry maize from the balance. The rest was then spent on buying other small food items for my family since we did not have enough food in the house.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have plastered my house, thus it is strong, attractive and much easier to clean than before.

What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I have is the state of my house. It is old and because of my age I am unable to make it better.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My happiest part of the day is during meal time when I am eating with my family.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money is going to enable me build a new house that I am really yearning for. My house is very old and I am just happy and greatful to God for this opportunity to change my life through this money. I am also having an orphan that I am raising so this money is also going to help me raise school fees for him.
