"I spent my second transfer on building a new six roomed house and a kitchen because I had poles and some iron sheets I had bought earlier. I used to live in a two roomed house that I shared with my children and livestock, this was very uncomfortable. I topped up the balance and bought two cows and a sheep as investment for rainy days since my husband sold the only one we had for an urgent issue that came up. Part of the money from this sale is what we used to purchase more building materials."
