What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money to me means buying land for farming and starting up a cosmetic bussiness for my household.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The hapiest part of my day is when my husband returns home for lunch and actually finds it readly served on the table.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I have faced in my life is frequently falling sick. I always fall sick, for example three times in a month, not because I am currently pregnant but even before I have always been admitted to health centres and in most cases I have failed to afford money for all the required treatment as prescribed by the health workers.
