What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship i have faced in my life is being unable to provide food adequately for my family due to the past drought and the current rainy season. I have harvested nothing in my farm due to the natural calamities and as a result my children are starving.

The happiest part of my day is in the evening. This is the time when my children have arrived from school and also the time we sit in the living room, chat as we take our evening meal.

Receiving this money means so much to me. By God's grace, i will be able to pay school fees for my children in secondary school as well as practice poultry farming.
