What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means I will be able to buy oxen which will support in farming, complete the construction of my house and buy household items.
This is aimed at increasing food productivity and actually making my home a better place to live in.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am happiest in the morning when my children wake up healthy.
I do not have to budget for medical bills.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I am faced with is lack of money to take care of the education needs of my children.
I have three children in school but meeting their need is so challenging to me.
Apart from doing casual labour, I dont have any source of income.
I do casual labour to provide food, medicare and all other needs of a family so putting aside money to cater for their education needs is such a hard task.
