What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Watching my children drop out of school for lack of school fees.
What is the happiest part of your day?
In the evening before going to sleep, that's the only time of the day when my family gets time to seat together and share their experiences of the day.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
My family won't sterve again. The previous year we produced very little from the farm because of little rain but now we'll be able to stock food and even buy more for sale. This way we'll be able to comfortably pay school fees for our remaining child in school.
