What does receiving this money mean to you?
I'll use this money to cover for my problems as you can see I'll buy cement to finish off this house as you can see it. My initial house was damaged and fell because of heavy rains, now well wishers and relatives helped in building this house you are seeing therefore this money will help build this house and buy better beddings.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I've been happy most recent when this house was built because i used to ask myself questions if I'll ever find a descent house to live in but now I have been happy ever since this house was built for me.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Problems are just a lot for instance finding money isn't easy, i haven't even been able to buy fertiliser for my yields. And the heavy rains even made it hard as my house was damaged. So, having no fertiliser affects my harvest.
