I divorced with my husband four years ago, and I take care of my children single-handedly. My parents hosted me for a while but I got displaced after the floods and I opted to live in the shopping center. I desire to have my own piece of land and a house whereby I can live comfortably. I plan on using the transfers to purchase land and begin building a house. I am happy as the transfers have come at the time that I needed it most.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am happy because since the year started, my children have never slept hungry. I have been working hard doing menial jobs at neighbors farms to earn a living. I was able to save up some money that I purchased school neccessities for the new term.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Two months ago, my house and all household items got destroyed by floods. I was forced to seek refuge a nearby shopping center temporarily and life has never been the same since then. I cannot fend for my two children by doing hard jobs because I am expecting a third child and this makes me rely on my brothers for food.
