What do you plan to do with the cash transfer?
Receiving the cash transfer means so much to me and my family. I have planned to use the first KES 13000 of the cash transfers to do maintainance on my osho mill. For the remaining amount I intend to purchase food for my family. For the second and third cash transfer I intend to purchase a piece of land. This is important because I will move to an area where there are no Baboons and therefore my livestock will be safe.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My happiness over the last 6 months has come from the rains and the good harvest that we got from our farms. Having a posho mill business, this improved my profits a great deal. I felt very delighted.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The challenge I'm facing currently is the distbance from Baboons. Baboons have been eating my goats and in the past week I have lost two. This is a challenge because I depend on my livestock to provide for my family.
