What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I face in my life is that I do not have a stable source of income and at times getting cash to buy food and other basic needs like school fees for my children is a challenge.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning when I go out to do casual work like ploughing on other people's farms. This makes me happy because I am able to buy food when I get paid.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means that I will be able to complete the construction of my house, build a kitchen and buy a dairy cow so that I can have milk for breakfast.
