The biggest difference in my daily life is the happiness I am experiencing. This is because I was able to get back my land that I will freely cultivate on without interference and worrying about harvesting my crops before they fully mature.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means I will be able to retrive the piece of land that I leased so as to raise money to sort some domestic issues, buy cows that will reproduce and support my household in future.
I also hope to buy food and be able to feed my family better.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am happiest in the evening when I am with my wife and children.
God blessed me with children and being with them is my joy.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I am faced with is inadequacy of farm land.
A bigger portion of land was leased out and now I am left with a very small portion which is not enough for my household to cultivate as expected.
I do casual labour so as to earn a living.
