What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means finishing my house, paying school fees for my children and starting up a retail store for continuous income earning.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the afternoon when am chatting with my neighbors. Around this time am free and my friends are free too from daily work, so we share life experiences from which I get words of encouragement.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I have in my life is losing my parents to death at a young age. This exposed me to severe suffering which left me with no choice, but to get married hoping that life will be better. My marriage expectations were proved wrong untill now.
