Receiving this money means that I will build a house for myself, like I said this one belongs to my uncle, Yohane Subili. My previous house used to be over there but it collapsed so this money will give me a chance to rebuild. I have been in this house since July this year. Since we are approaching the rainy season, I plan on waiting for it to be over so that I mould bricks and start the house construction project. This would cost me 500$. The other part of the money I plan on buying mattresses for comfortable sleep and a bicycle for transportation.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am excited and happy when I go to seek casual labour, working in people's farm lands, and I am paid. This makes me happy because this guarantees my ability to provide for my children.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My ex husband, Gross Peter divorced me last month and having to take care of 5 children on my own has made my life abit harder. I have to do casual labour to find food, thus, flour for nsima and also money for relish. I struggle to achieve this with my ill health. My left leg gives me restless nights because it has this unexplainable pain that hits me every night.
