What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means I will be able to pay school fees for my children, build one more house because the one that I sleep in is now small. I have many children and all of us share the same house.
I also hope to buy a cow that can reproduce.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am happiest in the noon time after I have had a meal.
I feel satisfied and stronger.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I am faced with is inadequacy of money.
I have children both in primary and secondary levels but providing their needs is so hard.
I depend on agriculture to pay school fees so for my children to be in school, I have to sell the harvest.
This leaves me with very little food in the house and food shortage in the end.
Even as I speak now, I don't have food in the house.
