Recieving this money means a better transportation for my family to access health services. I will buy a bicycle to help me travel comfortably to the nearest health centre when my two children get sick. The travel cost to the nearest health centre on a motorcycle is $7 which i cannot afford to pay for it every time I want to go to the hospital.
What is the happiest part of your day?
In the month of August, I attended a church seminar which was hosted by Seventh Day Adventist Church in Shire North near our village. There were lots of singing and teachings which had a good impact on my spiritual life.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The challenge that I am facing is shortage of food. I was not listed as a beneficiary for the Fertilizer Subsidiary Programme which affected my harvest since I could not afford to buy fertilizer to apply in my farm. I own a half acre farm which needs one bag of fertilizer which costs $45 to increase the farm produce.
