What does receiving this money mean to you?
This moneys means a lot to me. I am so happy because I will be able to cement my house and plasta it with this money. This is something I've been meaning to do for the longest time but could not afford to. This money will also be used for fees for my child who is in standard 8.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I sold pegion peas that I had harvested and other farm produce and with that money, I was able to provide for my household. This brought joy to my family because we ate nice food and were merry.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Being alone with no man, I fail to manage household financially. To provide for 3 children is not easy for me. I have to sell some of my produce mostly to be able to provide for basic needs. In the end I become food insecure which is an even bigger problem.
