"The biggest difference in my daily life is that currently, we can eat a square meal regularly and there is a great improvement in our health. Before then, getting food was a problem-we never had money to buy food and at the same time, we never had bulls that we could use to make more income or plow our farms which we actually have at the moment. I can now plow for people to supplement my income hence fending for my household members."
