What does receiving this money mean to you?
I will benefit with this money in many different ways for instance, this means that i will be elevated in terms of boosting my business, we will now be able to buy more food, renovate our house and buy better blankets.
What is the happiest part of your day?
We conducted a birthday party for both my husband and my child, so during these events we were very happy.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
We are farmers who conduct business so after we have harvested the yields are very minimal because we lack fertiliser, so we face a challenge of hunger because we can't harvest a lot due to lack of fertiliser.
