What do you plan to do with the cash transfer?
I plan to buy a plot of land worth £810 around the junction near Dududa Health Centre 4 which is a bit flat with less risks and good for settlement.
I also plan to build a permanent house of £1081 on a plot of land I am opting to secure using the cash transfer so that my people can live good life without stress.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I felt very happy in the last six months following good breath that GOD still gives us as a family and with this, I am able to discuss with my family members about things that affect us and forge a way of solving them in order to live in harmony.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
We currently face a problem of flash floods which affect the house whenever it rains. As result we lack where to sleep sometimes dueto too much water in the house.
