What do you plan to do with the cash transfer?
I am planning to use the first transfer to construct a kitchen for my family. This will allow us to cook comfortably during the rainy season, as we have been unable to build one due to financial constraints. Additionally, I intend to stock enough food for my family to curb hunger and ensure my children have enough to eat. I also plan to buy clothes for my children so they can look presentable.With the second transfer, I wish to invest in livestock to diversify our income and expand my business. I plan to add more shelves in my shop so I can stock a variety of food items instead of selling maize flour only. This expansion will increase our income and improve our family's financial stability.Finally, I will use the last transfer to pay school fees for my children and expand our house to create more space for my family. This will greatly improve our living conditions and provide a more comfortable and stable environment for everyone.
What is the happiest part of your day?
Having a loving and healthy family is my greatest joy, despite the challenges we constantly face. My happiness grew even earlier this year when we received rain in our region. The rainfall has made a significant difference, as my livestock are now productive and provide us with enough milk for our consumption. Moments like these remind me to remain grateful and hopeful for better days ahead.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The main challenges I am facing in my household revolve around the lack of water. We are forced to travel long distances to fetch water for home consumption and our livestock, which makes life even harder, especially as we approach the drought season. Another significant challenge is the lack of stable employment. Without a reliable source of income, we struggle to meet our family’s basic needs. The high cost of living has further compounded this issue, as the small family business we run is not enough to cover all the necessities for our children. These challenges make day-to-day life difficult, but I remain hopeful for a better future
