What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means I'll be able to build a house at the end of the rainy season. This house will be made with burnt bricks and iron sheets. I will also use the money to buy a mattress and beddings. Comfortable housing is my priority at this point. If the money remains I'll start a business and use that money to buy food.
What is the happiest part of your day?
Nothing in particular has brought joy these past 6 months, just thankful for good health and life.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest challenge I have is my house. It is small for my family. There's not enough room for all of us. That is why this money comes at the right to help me realize the dream of a bigger house. Another challenge is that I have failed to educate my children because of lack of school fees. One of my sons dropped out in form 3 but I would have loved it if he completed his education.
