What do you plan to do with the cash transfer?
Receiving this money will allow us to renovate our house and buy mattress and bed. The distances and sun are too much here and would be great to buy a bicycles to help with that. We will also buy livestock and use the remaining money to buy food.
What is the happiest part of your day?
We are happy when we work a piece job and manage to buy food to feed the family. As parents that makes us proud.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My biggest challenge is money. Money to renovate our house with, put iron sheets, cement the cracks and make it livable. We don have food in the house because there is too much sun here the maize dries up since the rains stop early. We had chickens back then but they all died. We'd like to have some again because we sell when desperate.
