What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Nothing much gives me hard time only that we farm from uphill and its really far from our home.
What is the happiest part of your day?
When my husband bought me a calf for me to graze, I was very excited and happy. I take care of it preciously because its very precious to me. It was a sign that he loves me and appreciated that I gave him a daughter.
What do you plan to do with the cash transfer?
We plan to buy another cow which goes for about $100 to add on our livestock and we also plan to buy land to farm for our own consumption. Also the land is infertile so we plan on buying more fertilisers to put in our farms inorder ti gain more output.
