How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
My new goal is to send all of my children to some. Initially I wasn't able to do that, few of them Were going to schpol while the rest were not going due to financial difficulty. Today my plan is to send all of them.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
The means of survival for our household has been through farming and hunting.
We get money to sent our children to school from the hunting that my husband does, the day he doesn't succeed from the hunting bush, things can become very difficult for us.
We also get food for our family from the little farm that my husband and I make but the produce from the farm aren't always sufficient to take care of our home due to the number of household members.
However, if I am successfully enrolled in to Give Directly's Cash transfer program, I want to use some of the money to pay our children school fees and if the remaining is still enough, we will used it to renovate our house because we haven't had money to change the roof of our house from thatch to zinc.
What is the happiest part of your day?
In last six months, what has brought me joy or happiness is the consistency that my husband has always carried out.
He has always been focused on the hunting that he does as means of making sure that our home never runs dry, even though times are hard.
Everytime I see him making more efforts in making sure that we have food for our family brings me so much joy or happiness as his wife.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
We have been facing series of challenges but the major challenge that we are faced with is the lack of money.
