Recieving the cash transfers means so much to me. Being an internally displaced person (IDP) I believe the cash transfers will assist me greatly. For the first KES 20000 I intend to purchase a bed and beddings since I currently sleep on the floor. Additionally I intend to purchase food and a goat using the remaining amount. For the second cash transfer of KES 45000 I plan to build a house on a piece of land offered to me by my relatives. This is a great aspect for me to accomplish sonce it means I don't have to continue living in a borrowed house. For the third cash transfer I intend to pay school fees for my grand children and purchase 5 goats at KES 5000 each. This will be my investment into the future.
What is the happiest part of your day?
Over the past 6 months I have drawn my happiness from the church. Dispite the challenges of getting displaced by bandits from my home, I have drawn hope from the church and the word of God which has brought hope and joy in my heart. This has made me happy because I'm at peace.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Currently, I'm facing a lot of challenges. Since I'm an internally displaced person because of banditry I don't have a house of my own. This has made life difficult for me and sometimes I get stressed because I left my home only to live in a borrowed house.
