What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means alot to my family because as you can see mu house is a grass thatched house and im tired of fetching the grass every year to cover my house and buying plastic sheet to cover it during rainy season. I will use the money build a good house for us with iron sheets and cement.
What is the happiest part of your day?
Im happiest in the afternoon because mostly thats the time i eat with my family
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship i faced is the death of my mother who died in february this year after being sick for a year. To me being an orphan is very hard because when she was alive i was cultivating together in her dimba but now since she is gone some of her relatives took over the dimba and they dont allow me to cultivate in the dimba anymore. Its hard because before her death i was able to sell vegetables, tomatoes and fresh maize from the dimba and use the money to buy food and now its different.
