What did you spend your third transfer on?
I always wanted to own a retail shop so when I received my second transfer I started it. Most part of my third transfer I spent to add more stock to my business. I have my own source of income now and I do not have to fully depend on my husband. I am not idle too. The remaining I spent buying corn for my family consumes and clothes for my children as the ones they had before had worn out.

What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer on purchasing a sofa set to furnish my living room which initially looked so ugly and less attractive to the visitors. I had to beg for seats from the neighbors to fill the room any time I had visitors, this seemed too shameful for me. Besides the sofa set, I purchased some livestock to begin livestock rearing.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
I have seen a very big difference in my daily life because today I can welcome visitors comfortably in my house without necessarily begging.
