I am a single mother of three living at my maternal home after divorcing my husband 20 years ago. I do casual jobs earning little income which caters for food. I live in a one room house which is not spacious though I lack the capacity to build one. I will use $200 to start a food kiosk business at the trading center. The market is good and I intend to make a profit of approximately $20 per day. I will also use $550 to build a two room house with iron sheets roof. The house will accommodate all my family since now my boys seek shelter from neighbors.
