Receiving this money will mean that my household will no longer struggle to find food anymore and a better house for my family one with iron sheets. We are 5 people in my household and we struggle a lot to find food because both me and my husband we depend more on casual labours such as farming in other people's farms, drawing water for those building houses or my husband fish for other people at the lake. All these are low paying casual labours which we earn the maximum of MWK1000 per day which we end up buying just 5 kilograms of maize and relish on that day. Suffering every rainy season yearly will also no longer be an issue since I will have an iron sheet roof on my house and I will be able to build a house with burnt bricks aswell.

When I wake up in the morning I think of how I will survive for that day especially having the thought whether my family will eat that day. I always go in search for casual labours which I usually find in the morning. In the afternoon is the happiest part of my day since I am excited to sit with my family; eat and chat after the long day of hustling to provide for my family.

Hunger and my grass thatched roof are the biggest hardship I face in my life. Every year I am worried because every rainy season I struggle a lot with my leaking house this affects my household since we don't have peace when sleeping even during the day sometimes we went in search from the neighbors who are my mother or my sister to seek shelter. Due to lack of money to support my family we struggle alot to find food when I look at my children starving this really affects me as a mother.
