What does receiving this money mean to you?
I am very happy and grateful to receive this money, because I was lacking alot of basic needs such as food, a proper shelter and clothes, since my husband left me to search for greener pastures outside of the country
What is the happiest part of your day?
I did not have any positive experience, this is due to the fact that I don't have money and support. my husband just left me to take care of my child all alone and with no food and money,life has been harsh
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
I don't have enough food as of now, last year's agricultural year was bad for me since I didn't have money to buy fertilizer and that affected the outcome of maize produce, for now I am depending on daily purchase of maize flour which is very expressive and I sleep without eating anything sometimes
