What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face is lack of food that will carter for my family and I. This is because at times my charcoal and sisal twining and selling business has no profit at all and so having enough money for me to buy food that will carter for my family is hard.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My happiest part of my day is in the evening. This is because this is after I have sold my charcoal and sisal ropes and received some amount of money which helps me put food on the table.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means that I will have financial support that will change my life in various ways. I will be in a position to afford to buy my own cattle for ploughing my piece of land which I have always had to hire someone to work on so that I get food for my family and I.
