What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means to buy household items like tables and chairs where my visitors can sit since I donot have any. Also this money I spend on building iron-roofed house for my family members. This will remove my family members from enslavement of renting houses. I will get peace of mind after building my own home.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is evening hours after I finish boda boda ridding. Iam able to get developmental ideas from friends as we chat at Fika salama centre. This has helped me in managing my family affairs without stress.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I face is lack of money to enhence my plans. This is because I only survive on boda boda ridding as a source of earning. This is not sustainable enough to cater for needs of my family members.
