What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that i face is dealing with my husbands sickness which is kind of seasonal.At times he gets extremely sick to the point that one may think he is running mad,when this happens I am left as the family's sole bread winner and I am forced to also constantly keep an eye on him so that he doesn't hurt anyone.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My happiest moments are always around midday when I come back home from my business of hawking mandazis around the village and I sit down to count my days earnings.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means prosperity and growth for my small business that I have been doing. I will be able to invest more in it so that it grows more.
It also means that now i will be able to build my family a much better house with metal roofing since the grass one is so costly with constant repairs.
