What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer on purchasing water pipes to use in watering my vegetable farms. I am a large scale vegetable farmer who depends entirely on my farming for survival. I faced a lot of challenges in the activity, the greatest one being lack of proper watering methods. For this reason, I have been experiencing low yields. Having enough water pipes this time round would mean enough supply of water from the nearby streams which will in turn lead to high quality and quantity produce.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
I felt so good when I received my transfer since the major challenge I experienced in my daily income activity would be solved.
