Receiving this money from GiveDirectly will be a boost to my hotel business. We slaughter goats from our farm for consumption at the hotel.I intend to add 4 goats to the ones I have already hence a continuation to my business. I will also purchase some household items with part of the transfer
What is the happiest part of your day?
My spouse and I sold part of our livestock in March this year. The market price was fairly high at that time and the proceeds went into my hotel business. The boost made the business thrive and this really made me happy
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Insecurity has continuously been a big challenge for my household. This area experiences attacks from cattle rustlers from time to time. The latest incident occured less than 10 kilometers from my home. We dread nights since we do not know when an attack can happen. Hence we live every day afraid that we might lose our livestock or worse of it be killed.
