Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
My daily life has improved in that, I bought livestock and rented land for agriculture. This makes me happy because I no longer go through the hustle of hiring oxen to plough my land and I also added to the land I cultivate which will increase my crop production hence food security.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
I felt very excited the time I saw the message of the money in my phone. For this was the first time I held such an mount of money in my entire life.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer on livestock, beddings and renting an acre of land. The small balance I still have is for buying food for my family.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means buying an additional acre of farm land in order to support food production. I have only one acre of farm that is not enough to produce food for both my family consumption and sale.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the evening wen I have moved out to the nearby center in order to socialise with friends. I share ideas with them which relieves me off the stress.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest challenge I face is lack of enough land to facilitate food production. I survive on the one acre that I own but it is not sufficient. When I add on the one acre, I will produce enough for sale and household consumption which improves on my food security.
