"I spent my third transfer on buying building materials that I used to build a more spacious house. I have been staying in a leaky, old house that was so squeezed for my family. The remaining I spent on buying a solar lamp for lighting. Using a tin lamp was proving to be a health hazard due to the smoke it produces. My children are also able to stay awake for long hours studying without the fear of the lights going off."
