Receiving this money will mean alot to me, as you can see my house is not complete, this money will help me finishing the house. I am not able to finish the house because I do not have a reliable source of money. I depend on farming mostly to find money, and last year I did not harvest much. I only made MK 100000 after selling maize,which is not enough to provide for my family and finish the house.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The past 6 months my harvest was one the things that brought joy in my life. I was happy because after harvesting I sold my produce which gave me MK 100,000.00. The money that I earned from selling I used it to roof my house also I bought blanket, I had no good blanket but this money helped me.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The challenge that am facing now is lack of money to buy basic needs. As I said I depend on farming and we sold maize in August which means now I do not have any money left from the MK 100,000.00 that I got from selling maize. Sometimes it's hard to even buy relish for my family to have on lunch or supper.
