What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent a portion of my third transfer on renovating my roof which had become so old, worn out and leaking being that it had been made using second hand iron sheets. We suffered a lot during rainy season as we all had to gather in one corner until the rains stop. That was the hardest part of my life which I really thanked Give Directly for resolving. Secondly, I purchased food stuffs for my children who were very hungry at the time the transfer was sent. I felt much relief again in this when I purchased two bags of maize and other stuffs.

What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
We're planning to spend our transfer on changing the roof of our house since it's leaking alot during rainy seasons,we will also use part of it to pay medical bills for our very sick child whom as we speak is bed ridden and we can't afford to take her to the hospital and lastly we intend to buy one cow to raise.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
The achievement we're proudest of is having been able to build our current house, our previous house was very small and squeezed for the family.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship we have is on huge medical bills for our sick child,it pains to see the child sick and can't take her for proper medication due to lack of money. Hopefully with this transfer we can finally get proper treatment for her.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning when I'm cultivating in my farm since this is the only hope we have of making ends meet.
