What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means I will be able to buy a piece of land that I will cultivate and get food to feed my family.
I also hope to buy a goat that can reproduce and support me in future. I can be in position to sell off some and raise money that I can use to take care of some household needs for example medical bills.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am happiest in the morning when I wake up healthy.
I feel strong enough to work for my family.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I am faced with is working alone as an individual.
Being polygamous, my husband has to attend to the different needs of the different wives and in so doing, time allocated to each is minimal.
I struggle to work even when I am not feeling okay because my family has to feed.
