What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means alot for me and my household as it will enable me purchase some iron sheets and put up a nice roof as the current roof is grass thatched. I will also use the money to buy some fertilizers for the next growing season so that I harvest enough food this time around
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am happiest whenever I can afford to to have at least two meals a day; lunch and supper since it is not that easy to find money for food
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
I do struggle alot to find food since since I don't have a stable source of income as I rely on casual labour for money which doesn't fetch enough money to allow me feed and provide for my household since I have a huge family to sustain
