What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means a great support to my family.
I will be able to build an iron roofed house and increase food productivity by way of farming on a larger scale than I have always done.
I also hope to start up a poultry farm to take care of any eventualities that may arise in the future.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is evening when I am at the centre with friends.
At such a time, I am able to play indoor games which get me relaxed.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I am faced with is poverty. Taking care of a family needs atleast some money to be in my hands but which is not the case.
All I do is cultivation which in most cases gives very low yields that can not support all the needs of my family.
This is caused by the unfavourable whether changes which do no support farming.
