What do you plan to do with the cash transfer?
I have always wanted to have a cow for milk and goats. When the goats multiply, i will be selling for whatever I desire then. That will also sustain the program because I won't just use up the money. Another amount will help in making improvements on my house like cementing it and lime painting.
What is the happiest part of your day?
Having peace of mind and not stressing about anything is what makes me happy. When my family is in good health, i thank God for the blessing. I don't take it for granted.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My biggest challenge is money. Because of no money, i fail to feed and clothe my family. My husband does a bicycle taxi business but it's tricky here in the village because people just walk and not pay for transport. He comes home with maybe a dollar or 50 cents and that's what we use to buy food with. It's not enough for out family hence living in poverty.
