When i receive this money, i will buy iron sheets and a bicycle to transport us to the hospital. I will buy at least 6 bags of maize and save the rest to build a house with after the rainy season.
What is the happiest part of your day?
There haven't anything happy in our lives in the past months. The only pleasant thing is sharing a full meal that isn't portioned and being in good health.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest challenge is food. I didn't harvest much due to lack of fertiliser and bad weather. My house is small for my family as my children are growing. Glass thatched houses are a mess during rainy season because they leak. All this needs money which I don't have. My husband went to South Africa for greener pastures but he doesn't send a lot of money. He is also struggling.
