What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My current challenge is financial difficulties. I want to make a large farm and build a new house but I have no money to do so. Making a large farm will help me generate more income for my family.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I became happy few days ago when I harvested my plantain. I carried the plantains to the market and the money generated from the sales was sent to my children in Monrovia which made me felt like a proud father that is able to support his family.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
I will build a new house with the cash transfer. My current house is old and the thatches are leaking thereby causing my family and I not to sleep in peace when ever there is a sign of rain.
