My name is Tete Morris from Dagweh Community, Dowein District, Bomi County. Previously, I planned to invested into my farm produce to improved my house in my community.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
The first thing I will spend it on is my children school fees for the new academic year and then the remaining amount will be spent on small business.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I was initially living in a family house and seeing myself in my own house now is what brought me joy and happiness in the last 6 months.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Getting money to take care of my family and send my children to school. I usually fix fufu to sell and whenever we send it to the market, it takes a lot of time before it can be purchased and sometimes we are tricked by the buyers; the earning from the sales is not enough to care for me and my family.
