What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Loss of a job is the biggest challenge I have currently undergone.
What is the happiest part of your day?
In the morning when I see off my son to school. I feel proud of being a father.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
The cash transfer will enable me build a house because I do not currently have one. I am embarrassed in the village because I feel a substandard person without a house. My family will now have a safe shelter and feel dignified.
I further plan to buy two cows for domestication which is a saving for me and a livelihood as well which I will use in future to educate my children.
