What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means I will be able to buy oxen that will support in cultivation.
I believe this is how I will best benefit from these transfers.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am happiest in the noon time when I am seated with other people.
I learn from them.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I am faced with is lack of money to take care of my household needs.
My husband died but he left me with a lot of responsibility which as widow is a charllage.
I don't have enough land that I can cultivate so I hire each time I have to farm.
This is very expensive for me.
It involves selling harvested food so as to raise money for hire which has always led to food shortage in my household.
