I spent my first transfer on purchasing food for the family consumption and bought cushions since I had old ones. I also bought new clothes and used most of the amount on paying workers to cultivate my parcel of land and used the hybrid seeds.

The moment I received the transfer I was very happy because I knew that I would be able to cultivate my parcel of land easily which had been bugging my mind.

What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I have faced in life is when my husband was sick. We sold all the cattle that we owned to raise money for his medication. Unfortunately, he passed on and it was a big blow to us.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the evening when am having dinner with my children. They like cracking jokes and this makes me happy.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money was an exciting news to me and my family. I have been longing to be part of the program and I really thank Give directly for considering me.
