What does receiving this money mean to you?
When I receive this money, I will use part of it to pay for our children's school fees and Plaster the house which already was constructed but we ran short of money to put it upto completion. I will also set up a restaurant business within the trading centre which will help increase our household income.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning because its always the time I start my day. Its when I go to the garden to start the day's work. Its also the time I see my children wake up healthy.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I have faced in my life is lack of money. This has affected the education of our children whereby they are frequently sent back home because of defaulting school dues. This has also affected our feeding in away that our children are not undergoing good nutrition.
