What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face right now is lack of a sustainable source of income, I sell maize but in small quantities, therefore any little profit from the business is often used to buy other foodstuff for my family. This means that I cannot expand the business.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the evening when I am selling maize at the market. The atmosphere is usually very lively as customers and sellers interact with each other and this makes me very happy.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
This money will improve my life because I will be able to renovate my house, buy a few household items and ultimately use the rest as capital in my business.
