What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means I will be able to build an iron roofed house that I can sleep in.
The one that I have is grass thatched and it is hard to maintain the fact that grass is scarce these days.
Incase of any balance, I hope to buy a cow that can reproduce and support my family in the future.
I can sell some of the products to raise some money so as to sort other household problems.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am happiest in the evening when my husband comes back home.
I love it when he is around me.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I am faced with is lack of money to build an iron roofed house.
My current house leaks so I have to stand each time it rains at night. This is very inconviniencing to me.
I believe it is the major cause of malaria in my household beacause mosquitoes have a breeding place.
I am just a small scale farmer and raising money to take care of medical bills is a big charllage.
