What did you spend your second transfer on?
We spent the second transfer to construct a house as we were renting a place at the nearby market center.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my life is that I am now living in my own house without worrying about paying rent. I did not know I would be able to have my own house until I received the transfers from GD and I am very grateful.

What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
We are planning to spend our transfer on iron sheets and timber, so that we may build our own house and move out of the rented house where we're currently staying. We are also planning to spend the rest of the transfer starting a second hand clothes business so that we may have a sustainable source of income.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
The achievement I am proudest of is paying our house rent for all the period that we've been living in a rented house, so that at least, we have a roof over our head.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I have faced in my life is the burden paying the house rent and also catering for other needs. The money we get is hardly enough for everything.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning when I am taking my breakfast together with my little kids.
