What does receiving this money mean to you?
I am excited to have received this transfer. This means a lot to me. My house is very small and I have been desiring to build a house but I have been failing because of lack of money. I also plan to buy some bags of maize because my harvest this year was not enough.
I also intend to buy beddings such as blackets and mattress. I will also remember buying clothes for my children.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am a happy person during lunch time when I am eating nsima with my children.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest challenge is food access. I don't have a reliable source of income and it's hard to buy some basic needs.
