Receiving this money means that I will first buy 10 bags of cement for my house's floor. Thereafter, I will buy glasses for the windows, thus, I want to improve the looks of my house and have a comfortable sleeping place. Having done that, I plan on buying 8 bags of maize for food.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am generally a happy soul when I am healthy and my family is healthy without sickness and we are living in peace and love.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Currently as a household we only have one challenge and that is lack of food. We have run out of stock of the maize we had for food. This year we had 8 bags of maize from our harvest and they had sustained us until last week. Now, I am always thinking of ways to make money and buy food for my family. I have 7 children and it's expensive to feed them all and ourselves.
