What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I have faced in life is that I lost my husband 46 years ago, since then I have struggled to support the family that he left behind and it has not been an easy task.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am happiest in the evening after coming from my small business having made some profit.

I thank God for this program because many NGOs have worked in this area but I have never been a beneficiary. I am very delighted that I will now be able to expand my business.
