What does receiving this money mean to you?
Once i received the money i will buy ironsheets to put on the roof of my verenda as you can see i am failling to seat on my veranda because there's no shade whenever i need shade i have to seat under the tree, i failed to do this because the one i was depending on my husband died and i couldn't manage on my own to finish up my house and also i will buy food since i dont have any, this season i didn't manage to harvest any due to my husbands sickeness i was looking after him.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My husband has departed from us in march ever since this has happened i have never been happy, my heart is very burdened i dont know how to move on and to let go of it so most of times i am very sad.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The challenges i am currently facing is lack of my money, for the past years i was depending on my husband to look after the family but since he died everything is difficult i couldn't find a fixed source of income instead of some piece of work which i am paid not more than a thousand which is very little to look after the family
