What does receiving this money mean to you?
I am very grateful for being enrolled in the program. This means a lot to my family. I have a house which is grass thatched. I intend to buy iron sheets so that I can replace the roof.
I will also buy some beddings because the beddings that we have currently are worn out. I will also buy some bags of fertilizer for the next growing season. My child is also in standard 8. I will keep part of the money for his school fees.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am always happy when I have enough food.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
