Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is happiness for having got money that is enabling me to renovate my house, sleep well on a comfortable bed and feed consistently. Prior getting this money, my house was not near, my bed not comfortable enough and feeding was uncertain.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received my money, I felt happy that I was able to get money to spend unconditionally.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer to buy some building material such as sand, bricks, aggregate and cement that I plan to use for renovating my house.
I then bought a mattress, bed, bed sheets, utensils and food for feeding my family.
I gave my daughter some money to treat her sick children.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means that I will use to plaster my house. Right now whenever it rains, the water tends to wash away the soil found within the joints of the bricks. I still lack enough household items. Part of this money will be used to buy items like tables, beddings,etc.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My happiest part of the day is lunch time. It is the time when I usually receive visitors in my home and we chat together whenever they come to my home.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My biggest hardship is sickness. I'm faced with sickness and there is no money for treatment.
