Learn more about how recipients opt in to share their stories.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The challenge I meet is usually food. My source of income are not stable. I have to go to the forest to get firewood then sell to buy food. I at times partner with my mother in law in her local beer brewery business but I haven't had capital as of late so it's just firewood business that's supporting me.
What is the happiest part of your day?
There hasn't anything happy or joyous these past months worth pointing out. We take the days as they come.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
This money will be used to build a house with burnt bricks and iron sheets. I'll also buy a mattress so that I sleep comfortably. The rest of the money will be used to buy food.
