What do you plan to do with the cash transfer?
This cash transfer means alot because it will enable me to purchase a piece of land in a safer place where there are no landslides and flash floods like where am currently staying, it is very risky. The piece of land will cost USD1,874 this will help me settle in a quiet safe place with my family.
What is the happiest part of your day?
What has brought me joy is when I harvested my coffee, I was able to sell it and got money amounting to 50,000/=which I used to buy food for my family that is to say i bought rice , posh and meat for my family.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The challange am currently facing is the challenge of running water/ flash floods that has caused alot of destructions on our gardens and also too much coldness which at times causes sickness that requires money to go to hospital for treatment and yet we don't have what it takes hence affecting our health, shortage of food is also a big challenge because we hardly have two meals in a day. Heavy winds that blows and break trees and matoke/ bananas
