What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I have faced in my life is inability to pay for my school fees after the death of my parents. I was forced to drop out of school and early marriage was the only option. I still yearn for education and wish that I get another chance to chase my dream of becoming a nurse.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is the morning when I prepare my children to go to school. Education is the best inheritance a parent can give to her children..
What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means a lot of positive change in my life. I would like to built my own house since I have been staying in other well wisher's house. It would also mean expanding my business of selling vegetables that would be a sustainable source of income.
