What do you plan to do with the cash transfer?
I plan to buy a cow of USD263 Which will make us have milk for domestic use. I also look at buying land at USD789 which will be used for cultivation in order for us get enough food for home consumption and selling some to get other requirements. The balance of USD789 will be used to improve coffee and banana plantations for commercial purposes.

I felt happy when I registered good harvest of coffee that enabled me get money to meet most of the basic needs at home hence having good life for some time.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
I am currently facing a problem of sickness which hasn't enabled me to work as I used to work some time back which has brought about scarcity of food in the family. I also face a problem of lack of school fees and uniforms for my grand children to attend school regularly and perform well in class.
