I bought another cow a diary one to give me in milk once it gives birth this has changed my life because before I dint have the money to even buy milk to give my family a healthy meal and also I also have my own cows, then I bought a mattress and bed for the children, before they used to sleep on the mat then my two girls are in a high school nearby I offset the school fee balance that had accrued due to lack of funds to do so in the earliest time the transfer has transformed my life incredibly I now dont have to worries about debts and providing for the family.

What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer on cultivating my piece of land which would not been cultivated if I never received this cash. The high cost of living experienced in the region could not allow any person set aside even a single cent for doing other projects that's not related to immediate food. I am so glad today that my crops were planted in good time and are promising a lot of yields during harvesting period.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
When I received my first transfer, I felt so happy for I knew that my cultivation which was soon failing would get an opportunity to kick off at the right time.
