What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that we face is not being able to afford feeding our children three meals a day being that the cost of living has become so expensive compared to our meagre earnings.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is around mid day because this is the time when I have done some casual works like tilling someone else's land and I am able to get some income to buy food for my children.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means improvement in our way of living. I plan to construct my own pit latrine and with the balance build ourselves a new house so that we may move out of the current one as per the luo traditions.
