What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money is a blessing to me and my family because it will help me to build a good house for my family.I will also be able to buy clothes for my children. I am not able to do all this now because I don't earn alot of money, I depend on piece work to provide for the family. I earn about MK 5000 per month which is not enough to buy clothes for my children and build a good house. This money will also help me buy food for the family, after receiving I am going to buy 10 bags of maize.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The past 6 months what made me happy was the money I earned after clearing a farm,where I was given MK 20000. This money brought happiness in a way that I was able to buy food for my family and clothes.My family was so happy seeing everything that I bought using this money,this made me happy too.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The challenges that I have been facing currently is lack of money to provide for the family. This lack of money sometimes leads to my family going to bed without food. Last year we had less harvest and from the money that I get after work,I have to buy food everyday.
