What does receiving this money mean to you?
I planned to buy zinc to change the damaged zinc over my house, pay the children tuition fees and buy food for the family. Since the death of my husband, I've not been able to change the zinc and at the same time cater for the family welfares. If I receive this money, it will be a relief for me and my children.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The thing that made me happy within the past six months is when my children got promoted in their school. With all of the challenges we are faced with they made me proud to have passed from their previous classes.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Some of the major challenges facing me and my family is that our house is leaking over our head and being a widow I'm unable to raise money to buy zinc. Secondly, the something people can blessed me with had been used towards children tuition fees and food. No one to make farm for me and I'm not young again to attract another partner who would help me and my children.
