The money will help me in building a house, am not able to build a house now cause I don't have enough money. I sell charcoal to provide for the family,at the end of a month I have MK 20000. This money is not enough cause I have to send some to my wife who is sick and staying at her home with the kids and also I need money to use here with my nephew.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is morning, I am happy because I am healthy and not sick. This means I will be able to go search for money to provide for the family. I am the breadwinner of the family if sick and not able to search for money, it means my family will go hungry.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I have faced is the sickness of my wife. This has lead me to not be able to build a small house as well as not having good clothes because am stressed most of the times. My wife sickness also affects me in a way that I have to divide the small amount of money that I get to cater for her needs and mine. Things could have been different if we were staying together cause it means we could have been budgeting for one household,but cause of her sickness she went back home and I have to send her money now and then.
