What does receiving this money mean to you?
I have lost energy due to an old age, so getting thatching grass has turned futile because of it's costs and scarcity. Therefore receiving this money means it will enable me build iron-roofed house that can provide a long lasting solution for accommodation. I will be able to save the small money spent on maitianing grass thatched house for sustaining the needs of my family members.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of the day is afternoon hours normally after eating some food. Iam able to rest while developing plans of managing my family.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I face is poverty. I sperated with my spouse for over 20 years and life has never been easy. Iam the only one responsible in providing basic needs like education and other issue at my family yet I do not have any source of earning. My children are on and off from school and it's really affecting their performance due to lack of fees.
