What did you spend your third transfer on?
I bought a cow for rearing with part of third transfer and I believe in future after it has given birth I'll have extra cow (calf) and we'll also be able to get enough milk for consumption. I used some of the money to complete the house I had started building with the second transfer and used a smaller portion on meeting family daily needs.

What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
It's so hard to depend on someone fully. At times asking for money to buy a pant becomes a problem and brings a lot of issues with my husband.
What is the happiest part of your day?
Morning's brings joy to me because God has granted me another day to live.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
It means that I have to start a small business since am not working and depending on my husband alone, that will enable me to support him in other areas.
