What does receiving this money mean to you?
Being an old woman, I will use the money to buy food since I don't have enough food and I will also use the money to buy some fertilizers for the next growing season so that I harvest enough food and do not have to starve again.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am happiest whenever I can afford to have at least two meals a day with my household members especially a decent meal like meat as this is considered an expensive meal
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
I lack money for fertilizer for my maize garden which affects my yields resulting in constant hunger on my household since I am an old woman and cannot manage to work nor do casual jobs as any energetic person would
