What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
I recently gave birth and hence productivity in my farm has gone down plus this harsh weather has led to low produce from the farm. I now struggle to fend and feed my family.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am happy at night when I now have time for me and my children.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
I was so excited. I have been praying day and night to be one of the beneficiaries of GD and my prayers have been answered. I know my life is going to change. For instance, I have been worried about my standard 8 child whom i had no plans for to join secondary school after sitting for his KCPE but now I will save some money for him so that he has a smooth entry to Secondary school. I am also going to set up a small business atleast to increase my familys income.
