What do you plan to do with the cash transfer?
My plan is to buy a cow for my self worthy $271.96 and this also a great opportunity for me to put right my house. The house needs replacing the old leaking iron sheets with new strong iron sheets. Then also have metal poles replace the wooden poles since they are long lasting and safe.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I was able to do more farming of bananas which I did sell and got some money for survival at home and with help from my children. I thank. God for providing for me.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Due to the hot season, my plants ( bananas have not yielded enough) have all dried up.My need is lack of seeds .
