What do you plan to do with the cash transfer?
My plan is to buy a cow for milk production for my children worth $543.79, land at $ 815.65 and more, for growing crops like beans, maize and Bananas plantation known as Matooke for food and sustainability.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I managed to harvest fifteen kilograms of beans which my family is feeding on as food.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The challenge I am currently facing is, I do not have adequate financial support for buying land where I can be able to farm crops like beans, maize and bananas for both commercial and home consumption.
I have 5 school going children who need school fees in lower primary. This is challenging to have all these children at school because they need scholarstic materials yet I do not have adequate finances.
