How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
My previous transfers have been spent on my building project which was so dear to me, and I'm glad to see it progresively at the finishing touches stage. However, my new goal is to invest into business. I intend doing this because when my payment tenure is over, I will have something to rely on to feed my family.

Give Directly does everything well in my opinion, they have lifted my head up and made me independent and I'm overwhelmingly grateful for such.
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
Since I desire to invest into a business, my instent was moved to start selling rubber dishes, since we have no one who does business of such acept for those who bring them on the market ground during our market day. Therefore, I can clearly state that my entire transfer was spent on rubber dishes for comercial purpose.
