What does receiving this money mean to you?
Since the death of my late husband last year May our house project has stopped so completing my house is my primary concern now so once I get this transfer I will build my house.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My late husband brother gave me enough rice and money for feeding last month so I was really happy about that.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Now the rainy season has caused my house to spoil so once the rain falls at night there can be no sleep for me and my children. Moreover, getting all the materials to complete my house is challenging for me nowadays because I lost my husband and I don't have source of getting support.
