What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on cementing my three roomed house from a mud one with that it has saved the time and resources that I use to put on searching for cow -dung in the village most frequectly to smear my previous mud house for its stability hence that time I now spend on my small retail business to provide for my family.

What did you spend your second transfer on?
When I received my second transfer, I used the whole of it to construct a new house for my family because my previous house was so old and weak, with a leaking roof.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have a new house in which my family lives with dignity since it does not leak and we don't waste a lot of time repairing it any more.

What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
There is low income as my small business is not running smoothly hence providing the needs of my family has been a difficult task.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My happiest part of the day is during the night when I'm back home with my family eating and sharing our long days experiences.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
I felt so relieved. There is this road being constructed near my home and I was given some few months to relocate as it is to be demolished. This has been giving me sleepless nights as the money I have been saving isn't enough for me to build another house but with this GD money coming my way I'm sure of rebuilding another house.
