Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is the harmony in see in my household. This transfer has brought me and my husband together as we decided to plan and develop together. Prior to getting this money we always fought even over trivial matters. This was because there was no money in the house to meet the day to day needs and ended up to fights.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received my money, I felt so happy because I had never held such amount of money which as that is unconditional.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer to buy sand, cement, a door, a window and paying labor that helped me to renovate my house.
I then bought some household items such as bed, two mattresses, two pairs of bed sheets, TV set, and stocking food stuff.
I spent part of my transfer to wire my house such that I get electricity.
