What does receiving this money mean to you?
Currently my spouse is not working to earn any money to pay for our basic needs. If I receive this cash transfer I will use some portion of the money to buy a bundle of Zinc to renovate my house. Also if the remaining balance of the money is enough I will use some to pay my children's tuition. And lastly I will also use some to establish a business inorder to have a continuous flow of cash in the family.
What is the happiest part of your day?
Even in my struggling life my children were able to complete their school year and get promoted to the next level. This brought me Joy and happiness
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Firstly I have my aging mother that I am catering to in terms of feeding and the provision of medications, which I can not afford due to my current financial status. My house is not in a good condition to provide shelter for my family, during the rainy season we seek shelter in other relatives house. This puts me in a position to work on people's farm for little amount of money that can not sustain my family.
