What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on fixing a steel door and two steel windows.I cemented my house into semi-permanent house from mud one and now I am happy and peaceful at heart since I no longer borrow mud from my neighbor who at time refused to give out their mud which gave me stress on looking for other alternatives which were very expensive.I bought household utensil , water containers and food for my family's consumption.

What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer on purchasing food stuff for my family. It was a period of drought that most people craved a lot for food. Life had just become so expensive that many including me, could not afford.

The moment I received my transfer, I felt so excited looking at the kind economic status inflation had exposed us to. Honestly, the transfer brought much relief in my life as I could count myself among the luckiest people who would get access to food with much ease.
