Receiving the cash transfers means so much to me and my family. When I receive the cash transfers I have planned to purchase food and other household goods. I will use about KES 15,000 of the cash transfers on this. Depending on the cost of goats in the market place I intend to use about KES 50,000 of the cash transfers. This will be a great investment for me since I'm unable to move and do other activities. I also plan to do irrigation and plant crops in my farm. This is important since I will be able to sustain my family's food source and also get some to sell in the market. For the remaining amount I intend to put up savings for emergencies that may arise.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My happiness over the past 6 months is the coming of the rains. It has been really long since we received such rains as we did in august which delighted me so much.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My biggest challenge currently is my disability and old age which has grounded me and I'm unable to work and provide for my family. This has left my family to depend on my wife. This has made life very difficult since its not enough and it is really stressful.
