Receiving this money means my family will live comfortably without much strain. For the past years, we have lived in a single house and since my family is growing, having a bigger house is a need. I plan on using the transfers to extend the house to three rooms. I will also do fencing and plant grass which I can sell to earn a living out of it. I am happy because the transfers have come at the time I needed most.
What is the happiest part of your day?
Being a father to three children is what gives me happiness, and six months ago I was blessed with a baby boy. I am thankful to God that my children are growing up well and in good health with my first born sitting for her sixth grade examinations this year.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Financial constraints are the biggest challenge at the moment. I lost my job in 2017 and since then, I depend on the honey business to earn a living. Recently ,the supply has gone down hence affecting my income greatly forcing me to compliment the charcoal business which is also costly to operate. The income is not enough to meet the basic needs of my family as opposed to if I had a stable source of income.
