What did you spend your second transfer on?
I used my transfer to build a kitchen (22000), bought cement (7000), paid college fees for my in-law (10000), school fees for my children (2000), bought a bag of maize (2000) and food (6500).
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
I had no kitchen and my house cannot accommodate many visitors but now i have a kitchen that can host my visitors. I was also able to help my orphaned in-law to continue with college. I thank GD for the support.

What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to spend my transfer on raising the level of my house using bricks and cement so that it prevents flood from entering my house when it rains, I will spend part of my transfer to pay for my brother's college fee and the remaining amount we will use to build a kitchen outside our house so that we avoid being suffocated by smoke due to cooking inside my house.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
The achievement I am proudest of is that when our parents died, we did not give up on life,we managed to build our own home using cash that we got from the farming business that we operate.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that we face in our life is that our farm is usually affected by floods and our crops that we planted had been destroyed by flood water.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is when we go to our farm in the morning to plough our farm,I am happy to know that we are united as a family.
