Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I acquired a bicycle that has eased my transportation and I have purchased most of the household items(utensils, water drum, mattress, bed sheets and clothes) that were lacking in my home. Furthermore, I bought 2 cows that will help with my children's education. Prior to receiving this transfer, I didn't have a bicycle and transporting agricultural produce from the farm was a great challenge

What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means we shall be able to buy oxen and an ox plough that will support in farming.
Many times we delay to open up fields for farming and this effects the harvest.
We also hope to buy household items using this same money.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the evening when I am seated with other people.
I am able to learn from others.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I am faced with is lack of money.
We don't have any income generating activity so we do casual labour to earn some money.
It is for this reason that we have not been able to buy oxen.
We also don't have enough land because there is no money to buy.
