I feel exceptional to be enrolled in this project. I have a child who is in secondary school and needs school fees. So I will use the money to pay his school fees which is about $52. I will also use the money to build a new house because the one I am living in now is thatched with grass and it's made of unbaked bricks. On top of that, I used to be a cotton farmer but I stopped because of financial problems. This money will help me revive it. I will find a plot for rent where I will farm cotton.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am happiest whenever my wife is healthy and taking care of us as a family. On top of that, I am happiest also when I go to church and listen to the choir sing because I grow spiritually.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I face is that my house gets sick so often. She suffers from diabetes and each time I use most of the money I make for hospital expenses.
