What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
I lost my one acre piece of land of watermelon on the recent floods. The fruits were to be harvested in a week time. And my 2 acre maize farm was also swept away by the floods. I am now struggling to make the ends meet after that great loss due to financial challenges
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am great full because even after encountering such losses iam still managing to put something on the table for my family.
What do you plan to do with the cash transfer?
My lovely wife have been rearing chicken in our compound as her investment so iam planning to support her business of poultry keeping. This business of poultry is working well in our village and we have a lot of people from different towns coming to buy them. iam planning again to venture into agriculture because I have a large piece of land and water is available for irrigation and also farming is the main livelihood activity i do. For a home to be lively you have to possess livestock's. iam planning to invest some money for livestock keeping, buy food for my family and buy clothes for my children for them to be attractive and beautiful because it has been long time ago since I bought clothes for them
