What does receiving this money mean to you?
This money will mean alot to me as a single mother i am failing to build a proper house for myself and children, this house we are leaving now leaks alot during rainy season so this money will mean alot, I will also buy my children blankets and clothes just imagine my children only have two clothes each and they don't have blankets i use my lappers to cover them at night. I will also add some food to what i have harvested to have enough for the whole year.
What is the happiest part of your day?
Usually i am happy during lunch time because it's my time of my first meal of the day so that makes me happy.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My biggest hardship for me is failing to provide for my children more especially on basic needs like food and clothes
