Am happy to be enrolled in the project. Receiving this money will help eradicate some of the problems I have been facing. Firstly, the trees I used to make the roof of my house are not in good condition. It is also made of unbaked bricks which we plastered with sand and it's thatched with grass. My dream has been to build a house with baked bricks with a roof made of iron sheets. This money will help me fulfil that dream. I will buy baked bricks, iron sheets and cement to build a new house. On top of that I don't have enough beddings and I sleep on a bed without a matress. So I will buy a matress and more beddings so that I can start sleeping comfortably.
What is the happiest part of your day?
In the last six months there is nothing that has brought joy in my life. However if I receive this cash gift I would be happy since I will be able to buy my needs.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The main challenge I face is not enough money to meet our basic needs. Most of the times, my husband does piece works where he makes atleast Mk1600 which we use to buy maize which last for a week only. However, he does not make that amount of money everyday. We usually don't eat breakfast because we don't have enough food in house.
