I am a very happy person to have received this money. I have planned that I will use the money to fix my house. I want to buy iron sheets so that I cannot have a leaking roof. I am unable to sleep during rainy season because of the leaking roof. I will buy food because I do not have enough money to buy maize.
What is the happiest part of your day?
In the last six months I have not been happy because things have been very difficult for me. I am not able to make as much money as I used to. I just try to earn money so that I can have food for that day.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The challenge that I am currently facing is that I do not have enough money. I face this challenge because I do not have a stable source of income. The money that I make does not last because I have to buy everything that I need at once. I have to buy food, soap and all the basic needs and I end up having no money left.
