What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means that I will be able to do motor cycle transport business. That business will support my household in feeding and paying school fees for my children. That will be the main household activity for me and my household. Currently, relying on farming is not sustainable due to intermittent drought that comes in any time.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of ny day is in the evening when I have succeeded in finding what my family will feed on. When my family smiles because I have come home with some thing foe them to eat, that's my joy.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I face in my household is poverty. I do not have a reliable source of money that I will rely on for feeding my family and paying their school fees. The harvest has not been good this year which has led to increased poverty and low self esteem among the community members.
