What do you plan to do with the cash transfer?
In the first place, I plan to purchase a plot of land of £1081 in Bubulo which is a flat area with no threats of landslides where we will build a house worth £540 which will help my people to stay without any worries of being taken by landslides.
I also plan to £270 pay school for my children so that they can study regularly in order for to perform well in class and sharpen their future.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I felt very happy when I and my people didn't sick in the last six months, something that enabled us to work hard to get basic needs like food, soap and others for our family members.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
We currently face the problem of sickness which hit us always and it is very hard to get required treatment because poverty we go through as a result of flash floods and land slides that destroyed crops like coffee which is our cash crops that gets us money seasonally inorder for us to meet most of the basic needs.
