Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is having managed to get myself the oxen that will now help me to fully cultivate and harvest in time and not depend on other people to farm. Before getting this money to buy my oxen, I had to go and plough for other people before I am given oxen to plough at my farm. This always left me so tired and exhausted since it was like working twice as much.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means I will be able to purchase oxen which will support in ploughing for easy and early crop cultivation. When I have the oxen, I will harvest good yields due to good timing and timely wedding which will be enabled due to little work.
The produce can be sold in order to support education of my children hence they do have a better future.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the noon time when my children have come back from school. They eat lunch and after lunch, it's my pleasure to see them play because, through games, they express what they learnt from school.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship hardship face is inadequate farm land g crop cultivation. I am born out of wedlock and I own only an acre of farm land which is not enough to support my household. I survive basically on farming in order to meet most of my household needs like education, clothing, bedding, to mention. This is not enebaled because of inadequate land for crop cultivation.
