What does receiving this money mean to you?
I am filled with so much joy knowing that I have been enrolled into the program because receiving this money will help me buy some fertilizers for the next growing season and again I intended to build a more good looking house as the one I currently live in is small and grass thatched and it badly leaks during heavy rain making it very uncomfortable to stay in it during that time of the year
What is the happiest part of your day?
I feel happiest whenever I am sharing a meal with my family especially during the evening when everyone else is here as this allows us to bond
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
I struggle alot to find food since I don't have a stable source of income and mainly rely on casual labour which does not even fetch enough money to allow me feed and provide for my household
