The most prominent hardship has been to fend for my family because I recently got into an accident.As i can't work anymore in the farm nor the hotel where I used to cook, it has been such a big challenge to earn any income to fend for their needs

My happiest moments are always in the evenings when I am able to sit with my family after a hard days work and just share stories of how their day had been.

Receiving this money means expansion and upgrading of my subsistence farming to a much larger scale one.I plan to buy the ox plough to be hiring out and also tilling my land.the remainder of my transfer will help me plaster my house that is currently mud and when it rains,the waters wash away the walls.
