What does receiving this money mean to you?
When I receive this money, I will be able to build a house, better than this current one. I will be also buy livestock that will be for consumption and also business. I will also buy a mattress and good beddings to have comfortable sleep.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I'm rarely happy because I am poor, I lack a lot of things so my happiness is dependent on whether I have eaten or have managed to clothe my family and so on.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I have faced been food. This is because our field is mostly flooded hindering us from harvesting enough. Also the lack of fertilizer results in low yields.
