What does receiving this money mean to you?
I am very excited to receive this money because it will help me to buy necessary things for my children to start going to again. I have 7 children and 4 of them are in primary school but they are failing to go now because they do not have school uniform. I want to use this opportunity to but them school uniform and other clothes. I will also make sure i have enough food as such i want to buy a few bags of maize
What is the happiest part of your day?
I do not have a specific time which i would say it's the happiest part of the day because it varies from day to day depending on the situation. Some of the days i am the happiest in the morning because that is the time i usually have my first meal of the while some of the days i am the happiest in the evening because that is the time i rest after working all day
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship i have faced in my life is taking care of the children on my own. My husband has another and he spends most of his time there and this leaves with no support as he only concentrate on the other wife. I am doing a small business where i sell maize at the market and sometimes i can make upto K2000 per day
