What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Lack of finances is a challenge because I lost everything I had to floods. I had watermelon that was ready for harvest and all were swept away in a night. This gave me a loss of $860 and am yet to recover from it as a result I do casual jobs to earn money and it is difficult getting used to it.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am thankful to God for good health and it is what gives me joy and peace of mind. Having the strength to go about my daily chores without an hindrance is my happiness. Despite all the challenges I keep praying that my health remains steady.
What do you plan to do with the cash transfer?
Having lost an acre of watermelon to floods, the transfers will help me bounce back again into farming. I took a loan of $600 to farm, and I do not have any other source to use to repay the loan after incurring the loss. I will use all the transfers to farm and the proceeds will help me repay the loan while the remainder will sustain my needs. Give directly will change my life and I am happy that it came at such a time.
