What does receiving this money mean to you?
The program is really helpful. I will be able to buy iron sheets to replacing the roof of my house which is leaking currently. I will also be able to buy bags of maize so that we may be able to eat at least 2 times a day.
My households also lack good beddings. This is another chance to have proper beddings.
What is the happiest part of your day?
We are always happy when we have food at home.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My child often get sick. This is a challenge. I remember, one time i was admitted at Mangochi district hospital. He was in need of blood transfusion. We also struggle to find food here.
