What do you plan to do with the cash transfer?
This cash transfer means a lot to me because it will enable me to improve on my standards of living by fulfilling my plan of buying a piece of land in a safe place at the cost of USD1217 to build a house and relocate to a safer place than where i am staying right now because it is prone to disasters. I also plan to buy 1 cow for milk at the cost of 270 USD and also buy some food for my family at the cost of 116 USD.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My daughter caring for me by cooking food for me and also taking me to hospital whenever am sick has brought me joy and more so when givedirectly told me that they are going to support us with unconditional cash transfers, it brought me alot of hope and joy.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The challange am currently facing is hunger because of lack of food, sicknesses age related because am now old and also caused by too much coldness in the house i live in as a result of too much rains leading to flash floods which has brought a lot of coldness.
