I was in a relationship, my ex boyfriend and I were farming and burning charcoal to substain ourselves and taking care of our needs,but he left me and I'm alone now. No one to help me with my basic needs,so starting a business will help me to take care of my needs".

"I was out of phone for three years and begged people to use their phone to communicate. A friend of mine bought me a new phone in July as my independent gift,It brought joy to my life. Since I got the phone,I stopped begging people to use their phone to communicate".
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
"The challenge I'm facing currently is getting food for myself. My ex boyfriend and I used to struggle together,we farmed,burnt Charcoal and sell our crops to survive,but since he left me two weeks ago it's difficult for me to get food. Right now,my friend is the one helping me with money to eat,but I'm not comfortable with it because he has his girlfriend I feel he shouldn't be doing that for me because it's not his obligation. I don't want his girlfriend to think different and get mad at me".
