What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money will mean that I will be able to finish constructing my house and clear arrears for my son in high school. I have not been able to balance the two and since my child has to study, I had to pause the construction to pay for school. This transfer will enable me to accomplish both and also allow me to buy a dairy cow so that it can be a source of income for my family.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am grateful for the good weather conditions that have enabled farming. My farming has enough food to last us some time.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Having a source of income is a major challenge since we are so much dependent on our children. They support us in a big way and having a source of income will reduce this burden since they have families to take care of.
