What do you plan to do with the cash transfer?
The plans I have when I get the cash transfer is first to buy an expensive cow worth 500 US dollars, because this kind of cow is able to provide enough milk for sell on a daily basis that will helpme get basic needs for myself and be ableto get treatment,I am also looking at the because I have the grandchildren that will be grazing it for me.
Then I will use the remaining cash of around 1600 US dollars to secure a peace of land somewhere.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I must admit that am still alive and this has brought happiness in my life, because many people have died but am still breathing. This is so great though am fairly fine.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Since I am an old woman, I fall sick every now and then, hypertension is the biggest challenge since 2012 yet its very expensive to get the treatment. Poverty is a leading challenge too .This has made life harder, I can't afford treatment, not even a balanced diet for my health.
My bad health has stopped me from doing my business that i was doing years ago to provide for myself.
