Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is happiness to see that I am feeling better healthwise, after this money helped to scan the problem at the hospital. Otherwise, my life wouldn't be as it's now.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received my money, I felt so happy to be getting such an amount of money at a time when it's most needed.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
My first transfer was spent to pay hospital bills for treatment of my back bone problem. The balance is saved for further treatment.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means I will be able to build an iron roofed house, take care of my medical bills and support farming. I am sick and I can not work as expected so this money will help me pay for labour.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am happiest in the morning when I wake up healthy. I am able to socialise freely.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I am faced with is lack of money to take care of my children's education needs. At the time of my husband's death, all my children were in school but as time went by, they had to drop out of school. I could not provide for them.
