What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means that I will be able to build iron-roofed house. I stay in a leaking house and it's iron sheet may any time be blown off. The roof may fall on my family members any time putting thier lives in danger. The house once complete will provide descent and safe shelter for my family members.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My happiest moments is always in the afternoon. I relax with my children after lunch. They look happy as aresult of satisfaction.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I face is poverty. Iam mainly subsistence farmer and I realise very little to sustain the needs of my household. I can not even afford providing better accommodation and meals for my household members. This is affecting them both physically and mentally.
