What does receiving this money mean to you?
This means a lot to me. I have been planning to buy to renovate my house but it has been always a challenge because of lack of money. Now that I will receive money from GD, I intend to buy bricks, bags of cement and renovate house. I also don't have a toilet such that i use my neighbors toilet. I will build a toilet when I receive my transfer. I also desire to start rearing livestocks.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am a happy person during afternoon hours when I chatting with my family.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
I depend on farming and it's not a reliable source of income because most of the times, our harvest is low because of lack of farm inputs.
