What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means that I will be able to build better iron-roofed house. Iam staying with the family in a leaking house and when it rains is like we are sleeping outside , besides the room is too small. The new house will provide comfortable accommodation for my family members to stay. This is because it will no longer apear as if we are sleeping under rain.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My favourite part of the day is afternoon especially after lunch. Iam able to see a smile from my children since they are satisfied with food. They stay playing as I rest.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The bigesst hardship I face is my children are sickly. The little money I could save for providing other neccessities is spent on their treatment. This is casusing hunger in my family.
