What does receiving this money mean to you?
I have always had problems securing enough food every year because to get fertilizers for the garden has been a far fetched dream due to financial constraints as a result hunger has been a constant visitor in this household. So with this money I intend to purchase enough food items to last me throughout the year and I will also use a part of the money to renovate my house
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am happiest whenever I can afford atleast 2 meals a day; lunch and supper as it is very difficult for me to find food
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
I have always dreamt of atleast having 3 meals a day but that has not always been possible because of financial problems and I believe now I will be able to afford atleast 2-3 meals a day
