I am very happy to receive this money from GiveDirectly. I will use the money to develop the surrounding of my house. I have been wishing to build a brick fence. I will use the money that I have received to buy bricks and pay the builders who are going to build the fence.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am happiest when I have enough food. For example I had a good harvest. So this year I am happy most of the days especially in the afternoon because I am able to have enough food.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face is lack of money. Most of the jobs that I find do not pay a lot. I do piece work such as fixing fishing nets. It is a challenging job because I spend a lot of time working on a single fishing net and earn a little money.
