Receiving money is a blessing for my family because i will now be to buy the things which i have always wanted but i couldn't buy because i don't have enough money tp afford. I want to use the money to buy food which is always a challenge for me. I want to use the money tp buy a few bags of maize as i completely do not have maize in my house. I also want to buy ironsheets for my house. I know this will help out a lot especially during rainy season as i struggle so much to contain rainfall water. In addition i want to use the money to buy matress. I sleep on the mat and it's my wish that one day i should have mattresses in my house
What is the happiest part of your day?
My happiest part of the day is in the morning because that is the time i usually have my first meal of the day. Although this is like this, if i skip breakfast then i will be tbe happiest in the afternoon when i eat.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship i have faced in my life is lack of food. I struggle to find food here because i do not harvest much. The maximum i would harvest is 2 bags which is too little for the whole family. Survival is very hard here and some days i only eat once because i cant manage to have 2 meals. The other challenge we face here is floods which happens every year. Last year the floods went away with almost everything in my house. I lost all the clothes i had due to floods
