What does receiving this money mean to you?
I am very happy to be enrolled in this program. I will use this money to buy bricks and iron sheets so that I can build a house. I face a lot of challenges during the rainy season because my roof leaks.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am happy when my husband has made some money as he is a bicycle taxi driver. I know that although the money he makes is not a lot but when he has some money we manage to buy food for that day.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The main hardship that I face is lack of money. My husband is the only one who works and the money that he earns is not enough to buy food for my family.
