What does receiving this money mean to you?
I am grateful to be enrolled in the project. The house I am living in is dilapidated. I have been wanting to build a new one but due to lack of money I would not. When I receive this money, I will first buy bricks which I will use in building the new house. I will also buy food because I find it hard to take care of my family.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am happiest whenever I have money. When I have money I know I will be able to buy enough food and other basic needs for my family.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I face is not having enough food to eat with my family. My husband is a fisherman and it's not easy for him to make enough to buy food everyday.
