What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money is a blessing to me because i believe i will now be able torenovate my house which is in a very bad state. My house has grass thatched roof and it gives me so much troubles during rainy season as it leaks. I want to use the money to buy iron sheets to roof the house. I also would like to use the money to buy some bags of maize for food. I believe K50000 will be enough to enough food which can take me to the next harvesting season
What is the happiest part of your day?
I wouldn't really point anything for the past months which has brought joy in my life. All i can say is am greatful that i am still alive although i face everyday challenges
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship i am facing at the moment is lack of food. I usually eat twice during the day that is breakfast and supper. I can't manage to have breakfast because there is no food.
