I am planning to build a pit latrine and pay school fees for my children who are in secondary schools and primary schools.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?

What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face right now is lack of enough money to adequately take care of my family, my spouse passed away a long time ago and I have been the sole breadwinner, age is catching up with me and I do not know if I will be able to cater for my family's needs much longer.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is around midday when I am having my lunch, I usually have lunch with my family and the atmosphere is always lively.
