Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is the feeling of relief having paid up the loan I had got to buy my motorcycle.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
I will build iron-roofed house to shelter my children. Iam currently sleeping in a small house with all the property and the children. This so congested and inconveniencing when I feel like expressing love with my wife since the children are mature. I feel they are wise and Sharing one room will make them grow as children with bad behaviours.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is evening hours. I return from boda bodaring with some thing for my children to eat. They enjoy sharing together with me and this has created good bondage in the family.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I face is my children are sickly. My two children fall sick of malaria constantly hence I spend a lot of money in treatment. I have failed to sustain the family in providing other basic needs like Education and better accomadation since I can save any money.
