For the first transfer of KES 20,000 I intend to purchase food such as maize beans and other food products by using about KES 5000, I also intend to purchase fuel for irrigation and pay school fees for my seven children who are in various levels in school. For the second cash transfer I intend to purchase two cows at KES 40000. This will be my investment into the future. For the remaining KES 5000 I intend to purchase food for my family. For the third cash transfer I intend to invest KES 20000 into farming. I also intend to pay school fees for my children and purchase food for my family since it will be during the Christmas festive season.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My happiness in the past 6 months came from a good harvest I got from my 2 hector farm which gave me 20 bags of maize. This delighted me so much because after selling the produce I was able to provide food for my family and also paid part of my children's school fees.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Currently I'm facing a number of challenges including lack of fees, shortage of food and lack of money to do farming. However, the most pressing challenge I'm facing currently is the lack of money to do irrigation in my farm since only source of money is farming. This has made it difficult to provide both food and school fees for my children
