The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I live a much happier life. This is because I sleep on better beddings and dress decently. Previously, I had very few clothes and mattresses that were not only enough but of poor quality.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
Recieving this money means I will be in position to purcahse bulls to help me during cultivation because I have been hiring bulls whenever I want to engage in agriculture since the bulls I had were sold to cater for medical treatment of my mother and other burial expenses.Also I will use part of the money to re-pair the ox-plough.The remaining balance of the money will help me to purchase a cow basically for milk production both for domestic consumption and commercial purposes.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning when I have woken up in good health.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I am facing is not having my own bulls but rather keep on hiring which in most cases, I have to look for the money so as to hire bulls and also sometimes the person your to hire from has to first finish cultivating his land then he can now help, getting that its either too late for crops to be planted based on delays on land clearing hence no yields.
