My wife left me because of condition in the that, sometime when he ask me to provide for the home and that which I can do and decided that I'm not man enough, so she left the house along with the two children (one boy, one girl) to her family."

"I would like to add my cows to enable me to earn some income in the future through the sale of milk, so when I receive this money I will buy two calves with KES 50000, also I will use another KES 20000 to renovate and buy furniture to my house. I will also use KES 20000 to start my enterprise (hotel). Now that I am struggling to provide food to my family I will therefore budget KES 10000 to buy food and clothing."
