When I reeived my first cash transfer, I felt excited. I therefore knelt down in prayer to thank God for the special gift.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I no longer get hick ups in my business because I now have enough stock of goods as compared to it before.

What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The most challenging issue is sickness because we try to save some money but when sickness hits we end up using it all and this takes us to zero.

In the morning.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
This is going to be a blessing for me and my family because if we get this chance we want to get a plot where we can develop for business.
