Recipient this money would help me to finish plastering my house and build a fence at the back of my house so we can have security. I would also help me to buy beddings and food for my children.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The things that brought happiness in my life were weddings. I was happy because I have attended three weddings of my relatives in Mangochi town and in our village. There were lots of food and I got to spend time with my relatives.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The challenge that I am currently facing is shortage of food. I rely on my husband to do casual jobs so we can be able to have money and buy food. He is a bus conductor but the jobs are very seasonal depending if the drivers call him.
