What does receiving this money mean to you?
I am very excited to have received this money. I will use this money to buy food and fertilizer. I want my household to have enough food next year. I will also use this money to buy a matress so that I can sleep on a warm place during winter season.
What is the happiest part of your day?
Having enough food is the only thing that has managed to make me happy in the past six months. I believe that one cannot be happy without food. So I have been able to find some piece works and I earned some money to buy food that is something that has brought me joy.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The major challenges that I am facing is lack of money and lack of food. I do not have a stable job which can give me enough money. When I have worked I manage to MK3000 which I can use for 2 to 3 days depending on what I need on my household.
