What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer on materials for construction of a pit latrine ,though the work is not yet done since the demand for technicians in the village has been high.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment when I received my money, my joy was indescribable because I have always wanted a pit latrine but have never managed to gather enough money to build one. Thank you very much for the transfer since the Project is as good as accomplished!

Lacking money for food is the biggest hardship I've had to deal with since last year

What does receiving this money mean to you?
It would mean everything because it will give us the capital that we need dearly to start a fishing business. In addition, I would get money to build a toilet.
