Since we do not have a stable source of income, receiving this money means financial independence. I have two acres of land close to the river and since I have a generator, I will use the transfers to purchase water pipes and start of vegetables farming. My husband on the other hand will purchase three beehives for a start from which we can earn a. Living through the sale of honey. I am happy because the transfers will change our lives for the better,and my children will lead a better life.
What is the happiest part of your day?
Even though life is more challenging, I am happy because all my children are in school. They are performing well in their studies and this gives me the hope that their future will be better than mine.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Financial constraints is the biggest challenge. We do charcoal burning to earn a living, recently it was banned by the government hence lack of market. In a week we earn $6 and this is hardly enough to cater to all the family basic needs. My children lack school fees and they spend most of the days at home hence missing out on their studies something that am not happy.
