What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My biggest hardship at this moment is scarcity to water where we travel to long distances just to secure it plus food shortage due to this prolonged drought we facing.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My happiest part of the day is in the morning as God has seen me through the night for me to see a new day again.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money is going to help me solve some of the problems I have in my house and being that I'm part of those who are fortunate to benefit from GD I am overwhelmed. For instance, I lack window panes, I wish to cement my house and above all pay for my children schools fees. With this money coming, I'm certain of solving all these.
