What do you plan to do with the cash transfer?
Receiving this money means financial freedom and a stable source of income. I plan on purchasing a generator,water pipes and leasing half an acre piece of land to plant tomatoes. This will earn me double the amount of the transfers and I can use to build a better house. I am excited because the transfers will change my life and I will live decently with my family.
What is the happiest part of your day?
Despite the challenges, I am happy that my family is doing well. They are the reason I wake up in the morning to go fend to meet the basic needs especially food. For the past six months none of us has fallen ill and I am grateful to God for that.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Financial constraints is the biggest challenge in my life. I do casual jobs to earn a living and due to its uncertain nature,it is difficult to meet all the basic needs. My children are often sent home to collect school fees and it worries me because they miss alot of school work when they stay at home. I am hoping that things will change and life would be better.
