What does receiving this money mean to you?
"It has been my plan to construct a new home for the past two years now but lack of finances had prevented me from doing so. My family and myself rely on our farm products which at times is not sufficient to take us to the next farming season but because of we have to pay rent, we are forced to sell our products to pay rent. So, upon receiving this money, I will happily build my own dwelling place!"
What is the happiest part of your day?
"My greatest joy of recent was to enter the new year 2022. Many people died last year while others felt severely killed but my family and I made it to the new year without any one falling ill".
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
"My family and myself make farm yearly to take care of our daily needs and wants but they're are not taken care of adequately because the earnings from the sale of the harvest aren't often huge to cover all of our needs and wants least to mention saving some of the money, as such, plans of saving money to build our own home had become a manor challenge over the past five years".
