What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
I used to supply vegetables to Nakuru and eldama ravine from my farm and I was making good money enough for my farming needs but unfortunately the recent floods cleared everything including fence. I am currently struggling to cope with charcoal burning and casual labour to fend my family basic needs which is very challenging because the money I get is not enough for my family.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The great sales of my Vegetables brought happiness into my life because I managed to save some cash to build two rooms iron sheet house and clear school fees for my children.
What do you plan to do with the cash transfer?
I have two acres piece of land which is currently lying bare due to financial challenges to cultivate it after floods swept away all the crops. I am planning to use my first cash transfers to invest in that piece of land, I will plant maize green grams and beans on it. I will use KES 30,000 of my second transfers to buy chain links and barbed wire to fence my agricultural land because we have effects of animal browsing, I will use the remaining money to pay school fees for my secondary going children, stock food for my family, buy clothes and buy chicken.
