What does receiving this money mean to you?
I am happy and glad for Give Directly to honouring me like this, i never thought I'd receive such amount of money. I will use this money to buy iron sheets for my house because it leaks during the rainy season. Since the rainy season is approaching, i will also purchase fertiliser to increase my yields.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I chat with my friends and i get happy when we are chatting in our groups
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
I face challenges when i go in the forest to harvest timber/wood used to make gardening tools such as hoes. These become very heavy and its such a challenge
