Learn more about how recipients opt in to share their stories.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The problem is money. I have 7 children living with me. 5 young ones and one who's come back from a failed marriage and has come with a child too. So my family is of 9 now. Providing for everyone is hard considering our sources of money. We don't have food because of how farming goes in our area. We have to buy all the time. My husband sells goat meat to sustain us.
What is the happiest part of your day?
Aside my children passing their exams today, there hasn't been anything happy. My life is pleasant when I have food and my children are satisfied.
What do you plan to do with the cash transfer?
When I receive this money, I will buy goats first. Then I will also buy maize at least 10 bags so that I have enough food in the house for the children. The remaining money will be used to improve my house.
