What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means my mother will have a house. This money will help me build a house for my mother in Chilipa. Being a government primary school teacher, I earn very little to build a house and sustain myself, so I believe this will be the right time for me to build my mother a house in Chilipa even though am here.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the evening. I am a farmer ali feel happy at this time because I get to rest.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I have faced in my life was when I got burnt in September 2019. I was living here and was heating cooking oil, before I knew there was a big fire in my living room. I did escape with some struggles but by then my right arm had already been burnt. This was the worst day of my life and I fail to get it off my mind.
