Receiving this money would help us buy bags of maize, a bicycle which would help me and my family with transportation in case of emergencies that may arise such as getting sick during the night. I would also use the transfer to buy livestock such as hoats which would help us if we ever run short of supplies and money in the future.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am the happiest in the afternoon. This is the time I go to seek food for my family and sometimes when am home I chat with my wife.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I have faced is shortage of food. I try to do subsistence farming to feed my family and sometimes fishing but it is still hard for me to feed my family for the whole year.
