I'll be happy to receive the money because I'll be able to build a house in this village. I am from another village but there's bad blood with my family. So I'd rather stay away from them, and this money will help me do that. I will also use the money to buy food. I live with 3 of my late aunts's children so we will really benefit from the money.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am the happiest when my daughter visits, she leaves with her paternal grandparents.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Mostly the challenge I face is lack of food. I don't have money to buy food because I don't earn enough and at times there's no business or piece work and that means no food for my household.
