What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means alot to me and my family because I will be able to solve some of the problems we face. My children and I sleep on the floor and we have a house with a thatched roof and we experience leakages during the rainy season and I have to go keep some of our belongings in other people's homes
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is when I'm with my children spending time with them and making them food by the fire.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I've faced in my life is having no money to be able to feed my children or send them to school. We live so far from town it is hard to send my children to a proper school because of the long distance.
