What does receiving this money mean to you?
" If I get this money I will pay my children school fees. I have nine children that are going to school in Monrovia, and Kakata. I will use other portion of this money to make bigger farm that will give me more money to continue paying my children school fees".
What is the happiest part of your day?
" Without money I can't be happy. For the past six months I have never felt happy. Am worried of how my children tuitions can be paid, and thinking on other things, so I really can't feel happy with those problems"
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
" The challenges facing my now is that I'm finding it difficult to pay my children tuition. My farm can't afford me to support my 9 children that are in school. The other problem is that I don't have land for myself. I can't afford to purchase a land of my own. I need a land in Monrovia to start building my own house".
