What do you plan to do with the cash transfer?
The first thing I'm planning to do is to renew my house as I told you the problems it has, I will cover it well with cement and put the good doors. All the activities will cost $260. The other thing I will do is to buy a cow which will help me to get manure to use in agriculture as nowadays I have a cow which is not mine, someone gave it to me in order to give support for manure, therefore when I will have my own cow it will be easier for me to get that manure and having the hope that it will give birth to other many in the future. The cow will cost $300. The rest of money will be spent in other needs like buying clothes, and other household items such as bed and mattress. The clothes will cost $50 and bed and mattress will cost $30.
What is the happiest part of your day?
In the last month I was happy because I have shifted from the old house to this new one even if it has also problems but compared to the one in which we lived before it is a miracle. The old one was a mess , it was small, old and damaged in the walls and I was afraid that anytime it can fall down. The other thing that brought me joy is the birth of my grandchild, when my daughter was pregnant I was worried and after giving birth to this boy I was extremely happy. He is now 11 months.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The main challenge is that I am living in this house which is not well finished, the doors are not good and as you can see outside it is made of mud bricks only, it doesn't look good. In addition, when it rains, the rain pass through and reach inside.
