Receiving this money is a a great opportunity for me to finally improve my life as i plan to buy iron sheets for my house. Roofing my house will not only beautify the house but also remove the stress which i always have during rainy season. I struggle with the rains as my house leaks and it is worse when it rains during the night because i have to be up all night without sleeping. I believe this problem will now be forgotten.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I do not have a specific time which i would say it's the happiest part of the day because it varies depending on the situation. Some of the days i am the happiest in the morning because that is the time i usually have my first meal of the day but in some instances i have my first meal of the day in the afternoon. I therefore would say my happiest part of the day is when i have food
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Lack of a good shelter has been the main challenge for me and my family as our house is poorly constructed. It is a grass thatched and leaks during rainy season. I have to sleep at the neighbours house some of the days when it rains as the house if flooded with water.
