What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money mean I will soon start a business. My intention is to start poultry farming since it is a viable business in this area.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning since it is the only free time I have after children have left for School. I could comfortably do my daily chores without any disturbance.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship in life is failure to proceed with my education. My intention was to pursue my education to University level, get a well paying job and live a decent life but due to lack of School fees, my dream was shuttered.
