What does receiving this money mean to you?
I planned to invest my cash from the transfer in agriculture business. I am a cassava farmer who have no means of hiring Labor to work on my farm but doing every activities on the farm all by myself. If I can make a large farm, I will be able to sell the produces to earn cash and that will be helpful to my household.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My birthday was September 2nd, so that day was my most happiest day over the last six month. Secondly, I one of my friends in Kpolo give 500 LBR, I was so happy because I didn't have money that day, so I used the cash to buy food for the household.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My main challenge now is food, because here the birds can damage the rice so I am not engage in rice farming. Currently, I am my household are the only ones working on the farm. Because of of that, we are not able to produce more enough cassava to sell in order to sell to earn money, so it is difficult for us to get food.
