What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
I have two acre piece of land which I cultivated this season but due to lack of water pump for irrigation I lost 1/2 of it on dry ness because iam not financially able to buy one of my own, iam relying on charcoal burning to provide food and other basic needs for my family of 5 people. This is the biggest challenge I facing because if I had water pump I could not be struggling or depend on other people for assistance.
What is the happiest part of your day?
Iam very happy because I have understand and appreciative family in my life. Despite the fact that we are not financially stable they are always on my side.
What do you plan to do with the cash transfer?
I am a farmer and I have a big Piece of land but due to financial challenges iam not able to cultivate it. I use to depend on other people's water pumps for irrigation. iam planning to use KES 45,000 of my cash transfers to buy my own water pump to irrigate my farm. We are really blessed in our village because if you have water pumps and pipes you get rich very fast because watermelons, and Tomatoes, maize beans, vegetables and green grams does well, in a period of two to three months they are ready. I am planning to use the remaining money on farming, livestock keeping, stock food for my family and buy clothing for my children
