What do you plan to do with the cash transfer?
I have a family of four members and my husband does agribusiness along the river Galana. He practices farming on a leased land paying $60 per year. This is a challenge for him since he can not do farming on a large scale due to limited piece of land. I am a tailor by profession but I cannot practice since I lack the sewing machine. I will use $600 to buy an acre of land a long the Galana river and upscale my husband farming. We intend to harvest a lot of food and do much agribusiness. Currently we make a profit of $130 per month and this is on a small scale. When I get my land we intend to make approximately $200 per month as profit. I will also use $220 to buy a tailoring machine for to start my work. The market is good and I intends to make approximately $5 per day as profit.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My family has been struggling with food for the past four years. However last year I started doing irrigation along the Galana river and since then I have had enough food for the family and even sell some to the community. Food brought happiness in my life.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Land ownership is the challenge I am currently facing in life. I do irrigation along the Galana river for agribusiness. I do work on a leased land paying $60 per year. This has been a challenge for me because the inputs cost is very high and hinder me from get a good profit from the sale of my farm outputs. Due to lack of land I can not do irrigation on a large scale.
