What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means acquiring cows that will act as an investment for me and my household. I have grand children that are at school and paying their school fees is a challenge. I will sell some animals in future in order to pay fees once they have multiplied. I raise their school fees through small scale farming which is not reliable due to intermittent factors like drought and floods which affects the yields and harvest.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is a round noon. I am happy a round this time because I will have completed garden work and now resting. It's interesting to have good health, being able to go to the graden finds that I had good health.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face is limited income to pay school fees for the two grand children who are studying. This has affected their school attendance hence poor grades because they are some times sent out of school due to un timely payment of school fees.
