What does receiving this money mean to you?
I have been failing to renovate my house because of financial problems for a long time now. This money will help me renovate my house. I will buy new timber, doors, window frames and whitewash. On top of that, I will hire a carpenter to help me renovate the house with those materials.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am happiest whenever I have all my basic needs met especially when I have enough to food to eat.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I face is lack of capital to add to my business. I sell fish but I made losses due to Covid 19. My business is not profitable as it used be.
