What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that we face in our life is that we experience water shortage in our area and we don't have a tank to harvest water when it rains hence this makes us to walk more than three kilometers to fetch water.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning when I go to my farm during rainy season to plant maize. This makes me happy as I will be able to get maize when I harvest the crop and take it to the posho mill so that it can be turned into flour for my family.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money to me makes me happy as God has remembered me during my time of need and I will be able to expand my business by building a kiosk for my wife where she can sell food stuffs like bread and sugar.
