What does receiving this money mean to you?
I am really grateful for being considered in this program. I built a house with a grass roof. I plan to replace my grass thatched roof with iron sheets when I receive my transfer. I have also been desiring to start livestock production but I have been failing because of lack of money. I intend to buy some goats upon receiving my transfers.
What is the happiest part of your day?
We are happy as a family when we have enough food and during Christmas season.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Food has been a challenge for so long. I have a small piece of farming land and our produce is very little. We usually have to rent a piece of land to have more food and we don't have enough money to rent one.
