What did you spend your third transfer on?
I used my third transfer to purchase a motorcycle that has improved my taxi business. Back then, I had been using a bicycle to transport goods and carry people within the village at a fee, but it was not an easy task since I had to use a lot of energy to ride a problem that Give Directly brought to an end!

I received my first transfer when my child was sick and therefore this money brought joy when we could see the condition of our child improving. It supported us in seeking for necessary treatment for the baby and we spent the whole of it on this.

My house is pathetic and embarrassing and therefore I will construct a semi-permanent house of 22 iron sheets then invest in farming to fulfill my long-term dream of being a livestock farmer. I will start with 3 goat and 2 sheep.
