Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
I am very delighted that the motorcycle that I acquired with the cash transfer is earning income. The most pressing challenge we have in our polygamous marriage, is education. We thought it wise to acquire a motorcycle which can earn daily income. The proceeds will go towards paying school fees.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
Ibwas extremely happy that day when I received the cash transfer. I never wasted time, I remember waking up early to go and withdraw it after one hour had elapsed.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent all the first cash transfer to top up on the purchase of a motorcycle.
