What does receiving this money mean to you?
I was hearing alot of stories about GD programs and I have been wanting the program to come to my village. Now that GD is here, I and my Husband are planning to start agro business. We want to be buying all agricultural produce here in the village and resale them at a high price in town. We have been discussing about it for so long but the challenge was luck of funds to start the business. Furthermore, we want to build a good and comfortable house. We want iron roofed house.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am always heppy when am taking supper in the.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Our biggest challenge is lack of enough capital to start a business. This has always been our set back.
