Receiving this money would mean that I would rectify my housing problems. For I need a better sleeping place. I would buy iron sheets and improve the roof of my house and would also buy bags of cement and have the house plastered as well as cemented on the floor. I would need 11 iron sheets, thus, about 100$ and 5 bags of cement at 80$.
What is the happiest part of your day?
This has to be in June when I sold my millet at 50$. I used this money to buy a bag of maize for food and a goat. This brought me joy for I was able to provide for my family in such a way.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Currently my only challenge is housing. My house leaks during the rainy season and this disrupts my sleep and rest. Additionally, lack of cement on the floor brings about dust in my home which I don't like.
