"Having money at hand that is enabling me to deal with the day to day expenses is the biggest difference in my daily life. This is because I am able to feed my family on time and on a balanced diet, I was as well able to take my children back to school and then I got an extra piece of farm land that I now cultivate on. Before getting this transfer, raising money to pay my children's fees was next to impossible because the bricks my husband always bakes to sell and educate them had all been sold off and the money used to pay the previous term."
