What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Our biggest hardship is lack of a better housing since the one we live in now is too small to fit the large family, and the organic materials used to construct it have also rotten.
What is the happiest part of your day?
We only get happy when we are sure of food security but currently with the droughts experienced, we are less happy for we live with lots of worries on how we will get food.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means to us a chance to get a better house since currently we are like homeless for we have no better house. It will also help us educate our children.
