What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on buying building materials that I used to build a new house. My previous house was in a very bad state and almost collapsing, so I decided to build a new one. I also paid school for my daughter in secondary school. I am happy she is in school now.

What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer to buy two cows that was part of the payment of bride price to my wife since I had not done this for a long time. I also bought 25 iron sheets as part of materials to construct a new and bigger house and the remaining amount was spent on buying food.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my life is that I have been able to pay bride price and now that burden of constantly being asked when I will do it has been lifted off my shoulders.

The biggest hardship we face currently is on paying school fees for our child in secondary school, I'm a casual labourer and this means the job opportunities are rare and not permanent making it hard to have a steady income.

The happiest part of my day is in the morning when I visit my farm to cultivate,this gives me joy knowing that I will have better harvest which can only be realized through hardwork.
