What does receiving this money mean to you?
This money means a sigh of relief for me and my household in reagrds to the problems that we have been facing for a long time. I have been struggling with school fees for my nursery school going kids which is MKW1,200. This predicament also applies to my primary school going children. For the past six months , the whole family including myself has been sleeping on the living room as most of the rooms leak heavily during rains. Hence, I shall use this money to do do renovations and make sure that the rest goes towards starting a business which will ensure a stable income for the family.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am always happy anytime of the day whenever am with my children. My husband left me in a heart breaking manner and these children are all I have to keep me company most of the times.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My biggest hardship has been paying for medical care for my two children who have health problems. One has an epilepsy problem and the other has a recurrent insufficient blood problem which requires transfusion or admission frequently. Since the hospitals which provide better medical care are private clinics, I just try the best I can to take care of them at home.
