What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent most of my second transfer on paying school fee for my 2 children in secondary schools. What motivated into paying these fees at this particular time was the great challenge I faced in raising them school fees, which in most occasions disappoint them resulting into prolonged stay out of school. Other than that, I constructed an extra house for my children's studies. Previously, they walked miles to their school mates' home where they could find conducive environments for their studies.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is the relief I have found from the struggles I made towards raising school fee for my children.

What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer to pay school fees and also to buy school equipment which were needed and the remaining I bought 30 tins of maize for my family's consumption.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
It was in the evening and I did not know that I had received the money and when I was checking my phone, I saw the message. I was very happy and went immediately to withdraw the money since I did not have anything in the house at that particular time. Thank you GD for the transfer

What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship we normally face is that after we've made the bricks at times it might take time for us to get the brick buyer so it forces us to apply for loan which normally gives us pressure to refund.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of the day is in the morning after waking up healthy and thanking God to grant us through out the day till evening.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money makes us feel so happy because we have four children in High School and we lack enough money to pay their school fees.
