Receiving this money means receiving education that will be a source of livelihood. I will go back to school to pursue a course that will be my source of income. That will enable me improve on my living conditions and earn me a better source of income. Currently, I am a security guard earning very small amount of money which is not sufficient for my household.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the noon time after eating lunch. I am happy because after eating, I get energy and I seat down with my spouse to discuss family matters with a fresh brain. It's difficult to find what to eat currently, once you are able to have something on the table, it puts you to the mood of happiness.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Lack of a reliable source of income is my biggest hardship. I am staying with spouse that I had not yet married. In our culture, the boy/man is expected to give bride price to the girl's parents as an appreciation for the proper nurturing of their daughter which obligation I have not yet fulfilled due to limited funds.
