What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Currently, my biggest challenge is the feeling of losing all the progress I had made in life. It's painful to reflect on the hopes I had before the floods hit us unexpectedly last month. I had planted maize on my two acre farm with the aim of ensuring food security and tackling the financial challenges we've been facing. Unfortunately, the floods wiped out all the crops, chickens, and some household utensils. Now, I'm forced to rebuild my life from scratch, and it's a deeply saddening experience for me.
What is the happiest part of your day?
In the past six months, my greatest source of happiness has been the fact that despite the recent flood that affected us, my family and I are healthy. While we did face some illness due to waterborne diseases, I'm grateful that none of my family members are currently sick.
What do you plan to do with the cash transfer?
Receiving this money is a dream come true for me. I plan on addressing my biggest challenge, which is school fees for my children. I plan on purchasing some pipes to enable me to buy some pipes to enable me irrigate my farm as I have been borrowing my neighbours, which I have to incur some cost. I rely on farming as my main source of income and I am happy that these transfers will be a boost for me to regain our lost progress as a result of floods.
