What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means I will be able to start up a saloon business that will be a source of income generating activity for my household. This will support me but food, pay medical bills and build a better house for my household. Currently, my only source of income is through the sale of agricultural produce which is not a reliable source of income.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the evening after I have disvovered that my family has received that needed to survive in a day. That makes me happy because I feel even more respected at home by both my children and spouse.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I face in my life is not having a clear source of income for my household. I am a peasant farmer growing crops mainly for food and little to be sold in order to buy other household items like utensils, food, bedding, to mention. The crops are often affected by bad climate, pests and diseases which lowers the yields.
