"When I received my second transfer, I paid secondary school fees for my daughter worth half of it and used the rest of the money for the construction of a semi-permanent house of 23 iron sheets for my son. I feel that educating a girl child is more rewarding and therefore I am very motivated to see her through her education. Besides, It is my happiness sleeping with me in the same compound as opposed to cruising in the darkness in a daily basis to seek for a place to sleep."
