What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means making outstanding development in my home. I have always wanted to expand my house which is small and to set up a livestock farm to support my family income.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning when I see off my children to school. It pleases me to see my children attend school everyday without any financial or material challenge.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I have faced in my life is lack of a sustainable income generating activity in my home. We dwell on farming as an income generating activity but the yields are poor as a result of the poor weather conditions and rudimentary farming techniques.
