What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means a lot to me. The plan is to build a house or if worse comes to worse I will at least fix the roof. The children are many and the house is really small and not comfortable at all.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the afternoon. This actually only happens when we have something good for lunch like meat. This makes me happy because such kind of food always puts a smile on my children's faces.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I have faced in my life was in 2020 when I had to struggle to pay school fees for my son. He was on form 2 then and he kept on being sent back from school because we had not paid fees so I decided to just sell some of my livestocka (3 goats) of which I was given by a certain project, I cannot remember the project.
