Receiving this money means so much to this household,we plan to use the transfer to boost our small business and also buy adequate food and utensils.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the evenings,mostly its because it is the time of me reuniting with my husband after a long sunny and busy day since we are always up and down.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship we currently have is having a proper way of sourcing money,we relay on a small grocery business which doesn't even make enough money for us all,with the programme in hand i plan to enlarge my business so that it should be giving me solid money for food and basic needs because thats what we struggle with as a household.
