What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent the larger part of my third transfer on expanding my house into a spacious three roomed one that accommodates my family members comfortably.I bought a sofa set seat. I also started a small hotel business and now I am not a housewife who depends on her husband for money, truly speaking it feels so nice to be an empowered woman who can assist the family's need with ease.

What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer on buying iron sheets and Poles that I used to extend my house because it was small in its initial state, bought a solar panel for my lighting and spent the remaining money on food.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is living in a spacious house and using a more affordable source of lighting than kerosene.

The biggest hardship am facing right now is poor source of income. My small scale business cannot provide my household to my satisfaction.
