What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship i have is that fending for my family yet i only depend on agriculture which is destroyed by too much sunshine. I would also need to have an income generating activity.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the evening because this is when i also rest after doing the days chores chart with my children.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money from Give Directly means a lot for my family. I have been asking my husband to buy us land such that we can leave the parent's land and we also have our own land such that we can have enough space for agriculture and raising our children. Which will be possible when we get these transfers.
