Financial independence is what I hope to achieve from these transfers. I lost two acres of maize and vegetables to floods and this put us at a loss of $200. Considering it is what we depended on to make ends meet, it has been difficult to start again. I am excited because the transfers have come at a better time to enable me start up again. I plan on farming watermelons and maize and in three months time I will harvest from which I can make enough money to cater to my family's basic needs.
What is the happiest part of your day?
Two months ago, I delivered a baby boy as my second born child and he has made me happy. I am thankful to God and I pray that he grows up healthy for the rest of his life.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The recent floods swept away all the crops in our farms and we have not yet recovered from it. My husband and I depend on farming to make ends meet and after loosing what we had hoped would sustain us for the whole year we resorted into casual jobs. It is difficult to sustain our needs because it is not reliable and this has left us with debts.
