Due to the distance, we cover to fetch water, we borrowed $800 from a microfinance bank to purchase a motorbike for transporting it. We have repaid only $200 and raising the full amount has been a challenge for us. My husband is the breadwinner and is employed as a cobbler in a nearby town. His income is unpredictable hence we have not been consistent in repaying the loan."

"Since I received the last transfer and my life has been uplifted, I never wish to move back to where I was before. Therefore, I plan on expanding my business through the savings and profits of my retail shop business.

Therefore, I will have saved them financially by cutting down on the cost of transportation as well as earning profit to support my family of 5."
