What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on paying school fees for my children. They used to be sent home each and every time because of fee arrears. I am happy because they are settled in school and I do not have to worry about them being sent home for fees.

What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent most of my transfer to buy building materials because I intend to build a bigger house to accommodate my entire family, I also hired a plot for farming to increase my yields and improve food security, I also paid medical bills and bought food for my family and other household expenditure.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I did not have a plot for framing but when I got the transfer and hired the plot I was very happy because I will also get to harvest like other people, I also got to seek medical attention for myself and now am relieved and recovering well. Thank you.
