What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My biggest hardship so far is feeding my family and scarcity of water which has been brought about by this harsh weather over here. Farms have dried up as well as water sources
What is the happiest part of your day?
My happiest part of the day is in the afternoon when I return home after my busy mornings and just relaxing.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money is going to bring a lot of changes in my life. I am planning to build myself a new house and a small hut for my grown son who is forced to go seek for a place to sleep as culture doesn't allow him to sleep in this same house with me. The rest of the money I'm going to channel it on my children's school fees and if some money remain I will buy some cows for milking.
