What does receiving this money mean to you?
I buy what i don't have such as maize, food, nice beddings and I'll renovate my house too. I'm thinking of buying a mattress too and I'll change the roof, probably buy new grass.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I celebrated my birthday, i cooked rice so that even my sister was happy

I face challenges mostly its to having no food and no proper sleeping place as you've seen. I even face challenges relating to lack of fertiliser, so we plant our maize without fertiliser which isn't good
