Financial freedom is what receiving this money means . I do casual jobs to be able to provide for my family of four. This has been strenuous recently because they are irregular, I am forced to borrow money to be able to meet all my family needs comfortably. I plan on using the transfers to ensure i have a stable source of income. I plan on constructing thirty beehives at a cost of $400 which in return can earn me $100 each year per hive. I am happy because my ambition will come to pass.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I built five bee hives at a cost of $50 which is cheaper since purchasing it would have cost me three times that. A month ago I harvested from one of them and this earned me $100 which I used to pay school fees for my children.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Lack of a stable source of income is the greatest challenge.I do casual jobs to earn a living, recently it has been a challenge securing a job on a daily basis. This has made it difficult to meet the basic needs of my children especially school fees.
