What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means I can afford oxen to be used for ploughing my farm land and also pay my children's school fees. Before, I relied on other people's oxen to plough my farm land and also didn't have enough money to pay fees and scholastic materials for my school going children.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the evening when I relax with my family.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I have faced is difficulty in cultivating crops which has led to low yields. I have limited land to cultivate and also don't have my own oxen to plough the agricultural land.
