Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is peace of mind after paying due money owed for the land purchase, and the business I am doing will support life.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received my money, I felt so happy because nobody will claim that I owe him/her if I succeed in my business with this transfer as this is common with people in the village.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
My transfer was spent to complete payment of land purchased earlier, and the balance to buy stock for my cloth & shoe business.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means I will be able to start up a business. I have always wanted to do busines especially selling clothes but I have never had the opportunity to do so because thre is no capital. If I receive this money, I know I will make it. I love doing business.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the evening when I know my business has made profits.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I am faced with is poverty. Some times I really want to try out many things in order to raise some money but there is no capital.
