What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Meeting family needs given the bigger number of household members without a stable source of income.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am happy during evening hours of the day when I get back home to meet my family members. It makes proud as a father and a husband.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
I am happy that the cash transfer will be used to pay secondary school fees for my son which has overwhelmed my financial muscles as a parent. This will be a great relief to me.
I currently live in a very small, grass thatched and leaking house which cannot comfortably accommodate the family. I will build a new spacious house where the family will have a secure shelter. I look forward to having a decent place of residence.
