What does receiving this money mean to you?
This money means that I will be able to finally build my house. I only bought baked bricks but I didn't have enough money to start building a new house. I will also buy maize because the maize I have now is not enough to last till the next harvesting season. I will also add the money as capital to my tomato business so that it can grow. On top of that, I will buy beddings since the ones I have are not in good condition.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am happiest whenever I make profits from my business and when my children are healthy. If they get sick I can't be able to run my business.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I face is the losses I make in my business. I sell tomatoes and sometimes they rot before I find customers that's when I make the losses. As a result my business has not been growing.
