What does receiving this money mean to you?
I will use the money to buid a new house because the house am staying it has cracks and its a grass thatched house.
What is the happiest part of your day?
Last season i grew pigeonpeas and i harvested 3 bags. In may i sold the pigeons peas and i got Mk15,000 . This brought joy to me because i used the money to take my mother to the hospital and i was happy because my mother received proper treatment
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My mother is sick and i have been going with her to different hospitals. At first she was diagnosed with BP some years ago but now she is getting better but the problem is she has developed sores in her legs and she cant walk. She is now staying with me because she cant walk as you can see the sores are still fresh. She needs my care because she literally cant do anything on her own hence money is also a problem for instance she cant go to the toilet and she relief herself where she is and it means daily i need soap to wash for the clothes and its hard for me.
