Receiving this money means having enough food for my family. I have been doing piece works in order to support my family . Sometimes my family could sleep on an empty stomach because of lack of food. With the money that I will receive I will buy fertilizer which will be applied in my maize field since nsima is our staple food and am hopefull sleeping on an empty stomach will be history.
