What do you plan to do with the cash transfer?
When I get this money, i will invest it business. Since most people didn't harvest here, there's a huge demand for maize. I will use my money to go to Ntcheu to buy maize and resell here. Then I will also use the other money to restart my goat business where in buy here in the village and sell in Lunzu, Blantyre. My family and I will survive off the profits from these business adventures.
What is the happiest part of your day?
There was an initiation ceremony here some months ago and we were happy and merry that day.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The most challenging problem at the time is money. I do business were i sell goats but now I'm selling chickens because I ran out of capital. I have a garden where I plant crops for sell but now with the weather I'm not realizing anything from there. So that makes buying food a challenge since we don't harvest well here already and our attempts at.making money are not fruitful.
