Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is the improved health of my husband and myself. Since both of us have serious illnesses, I am delighted that part of my transfer helped us to treat ourselves. Before getting this transfer, my husband and I used to farm and sell off the harvest to see to it that we could get treated.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received my money, I felt so anxious and consious that I thought every one around had known about my recieving money. I felt so uneasy until the money was withdrawn and brought to me.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means that I will use it for treatment since I'm suffering from sugar diabetis. Part of the money will be used to recover the piece of land that I staked to someone. Since Iam old, this money will buy for me a cow which can produce milk for home consumption.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My harppiest part of the day is evening. This is the time when everyone is at home after a days work. We chat as a family at this time, especially after our supper.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Lack of oxen for ploughing is my biggest hardship. When the rains start for planting, we have to wait for the owners of oxen for hire to finish ploughing their gardens first then later on plough for us at afee. This makes us not to plant crops early so as to realise good harvest in the season.
