Receiving the cash transfers means so much to me and my family. Particularly because it will offer me a boost to do things that I could not before. For the first cash transfer I intend to purchase food items for my family using KES 10000 of the cash transfers. For the remaining KES 8000 I intend to save. For the second cash transfers I intend to use to purchase a motorbike. Since I intend to purchase a KES 60,000 motorbike I will use the third and the second cash transfers to complete this task. For the remaining amount of about KES 20000 I intend to save for future occurrences and emergencies.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My happiness over the past 6 months has come from my family's wellbeing and mine. Since the beginning of this year, we have not had anyone in my family falling sick. This has greatly delighted me.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The challenge I'm currently facing that's making my life difficult is the lack of money. Since I depend on casual work it has been difficult to get work in our village and sometimes I'm forced to stay two to three days a week without work. This has led to a lack of money and also the ability to purchase basic needs for my household. This has made life difficult for me.
