I am very happy to receive this money. Since I already benefited a house from another project, I will use the money from GiveDirectly to buy maize so that I can have enough food. I will also but plates a matress and kitchen utensils such as basins and buckets so that I can have everything that I need in my house.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is when I have sold maize or tomatoes from my garden. Once I have sold the produce I earn money which I use to buy the type of food that I want.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face is lack of money. I sell produce from my garden in order to earn money. Sometimes the crops do not produce very and that is what makes it difficult for me to have enough money.
