What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means completing constructing my semi permanent house. I had started consttucting it earlier but due to financial constraints, I have not been able to complete it. I have the desire to own bulls/oxen and part of the money will go towards that in order to help do early ploughing of my gardens and planting of crops towards improved food security.
What is the happiest part of your day?
In the evening is my happiest part of the day. That is because, after a hard day's work, I will be resting especially after my evening meal.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Living in a poor dilapidated house is my biggest challenge. The house I live in is made up of grass and blocks which leaks at night. I have a daughter of nine years, we stay in that house and it is too small for us to live in.
