Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is the happiness and delight I feel for the changed and improved standard of living in my house. This is because I bought and stocked food stuffs that will for along time keep my husband and myself moving. Given our age, we can no longer do farm work but instead depend on others for food.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received my money, I felt so happy that I had got money that would help me to carry out most financial activities such as feeding, medication among others.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer to buy three trips of bricks, one trip of sand, that I plan to use to build when I get my second transfer.
I spent some money to buy and stock food stuffs such as cassava, maize, sources among others.
I then spent some money to treat my self on the issue of my leg that was cut along time and still has side effects.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means I will be able to build an iron roofed house so that I can sleep comfortably. The house that I currently sleep in leaks because I have failed to repair it. Grass is scarce these days and at my age, I can not move to distant places in serch of it.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am happiest in the morning when I wake up healthy. I am able to work and get food for my household to feed on.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I am faced with is inadequacy of money to build a good sleeping house for my household. I have been sleeping in a leaking house for a very long time because I don't have the capacity to put it right.
