What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My spouse's drunkenness has always been my biggest hardship because he drinks all the money he is paid from his casual jobs. This makes us develop very slowly and makes me toil a lot for any proper development to take place in our family.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am happiest at night when all my family members are home gathered to share supper.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means a change of life for me and my family members because I plan to use it to plaster our house, pay school fees and stock up my currently very small business so that it will be a source of sustenance for my family. Life will not be the same again when I receive this money.
