What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My biggest hardship at this moment is feeding my family and shortage of water since the long drought destroyed most of our farms where we could at least get something to feed on.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My happiest part of the day is in the evening. This is the time all my family members are at home and we get to have that family moment.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money has brought me happiness I know it is going to change my life. I am going to use the money to cement my house and furnish it to give it a new look and the rest of the money to start up my own business to help out in my family's expenses. If after all these I'm left with some money, I will use it to buy my children descent clothes and not this torn ones they are used to wearing.
