What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The challenge I meet is lack of money. We don't have money to buy a mattress and bed for comfortable sleep. Sleep is essential and ensures one's productivity the next day. We also don't food because we don't harvest much due to poor rains. This makes us to looking for casual work in people's houses to be able to buy food. Our house is on bad shape and we'd like to renovate it and make it look presentable.
What is the happiest part of your day?
There's nothing that made us happy. We are struggling and living is poverty. We are only thankful for hood health and family. Together we survive different situations and come out strong.
What do you plan to do with the cash transfer?
When I receive this money i will firstly buy iron sheets, cement, bed and mattress. This has been my dream for so long and I will be happy to bring it to life. Then I will buy food and invest in livestock.
