I am very happy to be enrolled in this program. I will use this money to fix my house and buy food for my children. I will also use the money to buy beddings and kitchen utensils because these are the things that I lack in my house.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The only thing that has made me happy in the past six months has been the initiation ceremonies that were happening. These made me happy because I was able to meet my friends and chat. It also brought me joy because I managed to forget some of my problems because people prepared a lot of food that we ate.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The main challenge that I am currently facing is lack of food and soap. I cannot make enough money to buy all the the things that I need. Sometimes I make MK2000 a day that I might have to use for about 2 to 3 days. This money is not enough to buy food but I have to manage it because I do not have a stable source of income.
