What does receiving this money mean to you?
This money will help me complete my house, especially the roof. We built a new house last year and all we have been lacking is enough money to buy iron sheets for the roof and to put cement floor. My husband who is working in south Africa is trying but still limited with his income. He sent on average MK70, 000 monthly which we use on daily basis. From that we fail to save as it all goes to household needs such as food and medical bills.
What is the happiest part of your day?
We havent had anh special occasions or joyful moments for the past 6 months expect for new year celebrations.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
I am not facing any big challenges at the moment except that i am sick and that makes me unproductive most of the times.
