What do you plan to do with the cash transfer?
To save my family from the future flood menace, i am planning to use KES 30,000 to purchase alternative safer land to migrate to and KES 50,000 for house construction. The remaining KES 20,000 will be used for farming, while KES 10,000 will go to food and purchasing household items (Utensils, Beddings) destroyed by floods.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My joy was brought by all of my 7 goats giving birth in February with two having twins. This doubled the number of goats i owned. In a few months, i will be able to sell some for my family needs such as food and paying fees.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The total destruction of my house by floods brought suffering both to me and my family of 4. Following the displacement, we are currently temporarily being hosted by relatives in another village as we repair our dilapidated mud house. The floods swept all my crops (Maize) which was dependent on by the family to meet its needs. Currently, i do not have money to buy inputs to get back into farming. Looking for daily casual jobs has turned futile as most farms were swept by floods. I am facing the challenge of getting money to feed my family.
