Receiving this money means a house for me. This is a very big opportunity for me to build a house. As the house is small, this money will be used to build a bigger house with ironsheets. I will also use the money to buy goats but not for business, I just want them for food.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning. I am always grateful to be alive. When I wake up I go to the garden near the lake where I have vegetables but have not started selling them yet so normally I go and water the vegetables and chat with friends and come home.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I have faced in my life is that I have nothing to depend on as a man, I don't have a job or a stable business. At the moment I depend on farming, last season I had 6 bags of maize of which I still have it up to now. I also had 7 bags of rice, I sold 6 and kept one but even so I still did not make enough money to last me a month.
