I am more than happy to receive this money as I believe it will help me buy some food as I didn't harvest enough maize during the last harvest season due to lack of money for fertilizer. I also intend to buy some fertilizers for the next growing season so that I harvest enough food and do not have to starve anymore
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am happiest whenever I can afford to have at least two meals a day with my household since I struggle alot to find food since I don't have a stable source of income
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Being an old woman I struggle alot to find food since I don't have a stable source of income as I rely on begging from other people and this affects my mental health as I think that begging sometimes makes you look very vulnerable to people and they do not respect you
