What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Being a young couple where I do not have a stable job. I am facing a number of challenges. The first challange is food Insecurity. Being able to provide for my family has been hectic. Our house is not secure. When there are natural calamities like the rains, we are forced to move our beddings due to the leaking roof. My kids have no clothes too. Life is so hard to me I am just surviving on a leash
What is the happiest part of your day?
My wife gave birth to a bundle of joy Janet. Although she gave birth with a C-section,I am so happy and proud they are all safe and sound. Being a father in this world has made me happy. Although life is tough but being able to see my kids grow in good health has made me so happier. Life can be challenging yes, but the fact that we are all in good health I am greatful to God almighty.
What do you plan to do with the cash transfer?
As a Father of two with no job , for starters I will use the first $500 to build a house. With this my family will be safe and secure. Seeing my family in a good house will make me so happy and proud father. I will use $200 dollars to buy four goats. With these goats even without a source of income i will be able to sell when I am in a financial fix. The remaining amount I will purchase beddings for my family and save the rest for emergencies.
