"I have always wanted to have a biscycle since I had problems with my head due to carrying things which were almost my weight. So I wanted the biscycle mainly for drawing water. Life was very difficult as I used to rely on my two young daughters to carry them for me which could not last for the day. So at times I could borrow a biscycle from my neighbors who at times it was not possible. The cash gift has enable me to own a biscycle that allows me to draw enough water."
