Receiving this money to me means that I will be able to have enough food in my house. It also means that I will be able to have a very good house because I will use this money to rebuild my house so that it's safe for me and for my family. But food comes first to me so I will make sure I venture into farming, buy fertilizer for my farm and make sure that I harvest plenty of food. I have always want to have enough food in my family but I have not been able to because I don't have money to invest in farming. This is an opportunity for me to have a better life.
What is the happiest part of your day?
This year has been hard for my life. I wouldn't point at moment of joy in my life for this year. This is because I normally don't have money and life is hard. The only time I was happy is when there were initiation ceremonies in the village last month and I would go to dance and eat with other people. I however, have a strong feeling that I will be happy in the coming months if I will be successfully enrolled in this program and benefit from it.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Currently I am facing food shortage challenges. I normally eat twice a day and this is not good for my health because I am pregnant and neither is this good for my family.
