The transfer is timely, we need to repair our house which has a leaking roof and also cement the floor. It's dusty hence it can lead to respiratory problems and especially since we have an asthmatic child. It will cost approximately $500. This will give us a healthy environment to live in. Since we depend on fishing, we plan to also add more nets and repair our wooden boat. Fishing is our main source of income. With a good boat and enough nets we can catch enough fish to support our family. It will cost us about $200 to improve our fishing gear. We also plan to invest in goat farming. It is easier here due to the favourable climate and availability of feeds. If we can buy five goats, they will expand and support us in the future. One goat costs about $50. The rest of the transfer will help us buy food, new clothes for our children, uniforms and saved for unforeseen circumstances.

We live together as a family of five. It's a joy when we all wake up healthy and able to do our day to day activities. That's children going to school and us parents going to work, fishing and frying the fish. Eventually at the end of the day when we make some profits to provide for our family, it makes us very happy.

Fishing is our main source of livelihood, it's now becoming difficult to do it. Crocodiles can destroy our fishing nets or we may not catch enough fish to sell. My husband mainly does the fishing in the lake, while I do some value addition by frying. When he's not able to catch enough, it means no income for the family. This will lead to us not providing for our children. It affects our ability to pay fees, buy clothes or even buy food.
