What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on purchasing sand that I used for cementing my house that was previously made of mud and because of this, I could smear it during rainny seasons which was hectic. I also cleared school fees for my son in high school which had piled up and bought food that we ate as a family.

What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My biggest hardship as at now is that sustaining my big family interns of feeding , clothing and their general upkeep.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I really don't have any being that i am the breadwinner in this family and everything is bestowed on me. I hardly have time for myself
What does receiving this money mean to you?
This money has come in good time I must confess and it means a lot to me. My son recently sat for his Secondary school and needs to join college but due to lack of money he has not yet joined. This money will help me pay for him part of the fees. I bought these iron sheets on my roof on credit which I'm yet to pay, now I know I will finish up the loan.
