What does receiving this money mean to you?
I have a one roomed house and I think it's not enough for my family. So if I receive this money I will build a house and if there is any money left I will buy mattress and other home supplies.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The only thing that has made us happy is that we entered a new year alive and healthy.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Due to rains my house partly fell, so this is one of the challenges that we are facing here. Another challenge is that we do not have fertiliser, so I worry that my crops won't do well.
