What does receiving this money mean to you?
It makes me happy that I'll be able to receive this transfer because it will enable me to make the necessary improvements on my house. I was denied from benefiting from the house project because they said my house is decent enough. But it isn't. I will use the money to floor the house with cement and also buy food in my house.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am thankful for having lived this long, everyday I wake up is a blessing. I'm happy to still live.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
With being as old as I am, it is pretty hard to do all the necessary farm work to ensure good harvests. In the end I need money to pay people to do such for me. Money I don't often have. So I usually have less than enough food in the house.
