What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means that i will no longer be the same. I will be able to build a new house with bedrooms. The house am living in is just one room no bedrooms. Since my family is growing, i will need kids to have separate rooms. I will also buy bed and matress. Currently we cant afford to buy the said things because our income is low. Bicycle taxi is our reliable source of income and it brings roughly 20000 per month which can not be able to carter for all our needs.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am happy mostly when my husband send me some cash. He works in town and only visit on regular intervals. So i can say i have been happy six times for the past 6 months as i receive the cash on monthly basis.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
I am not facing any challenges currently. I guess because we are used to a simple way of living.
