What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I have faced in life is that I don't have a stable source of income to enable me bring up my family in a better way. I work so hard to even get them at least something to eat which as a result might make my children miss some basics such as going to school and good clothing.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is at lunch time. I feel so happy when I see my children having their midday meal after school.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money will really transform my life. I am going to use it to build my own house and the remaining portion I will use to expand my business which would help us improve our living standards.
