What does receiving this money mean to you?
"My plan for this cash when I receive it, is to sell or open a small business. Over the times, I have been sitting home awaiting my husband to come from the bush before cooking or buying some materials to look after myself and my family. So doing a business will help me a lot."
What is the happiest part of your day?
" I'm normally fill with joy when my husband palm wine is been bought and we have food to eat.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
"For now my major challenge is the means of providing food for my family. I have to wait for my husband to come from tapping palm wine and sell before providing food in the evening for us to eat. Unfortunately, if we are unlucky for his palm wine to be sold, we normally go to bed with hunger. "
