"My life is now different in that, I constructed a permanent house. Although the house is not yet complete, I'm optimistic of surviving the terror of the rains. The thatched house I currently stay in leaks too much to the extent that whenever it rains I have to fold my mattress untill it stops raining. In other wards, I spend sleepless nights most of the time during rainy season which isn't nice at all."

"Receiving this money I will be able to fully furnish my house. It is not complete for now and I believe its a chance for us to sleep in a nice house.
