The safety and security of my life is of paramount value to me at this age.Therefore I plan to put up a barbed wire fence around the homestead to safe guard my 3 goats and to also minimize passers by and strangers from entering my compound . With a cost of approximately KES 40000 I will be able to achieve this goal.Furthermore ,I would like to build myself a pit latrine worth KES 15000 in order to keep my compound clean and hygienic.

What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest challenge I currently face is the state of poor health.For the past four years I have been having digestive tract problem, it was recently discovered by the doctors in Marigat hospital where I was hospitalized for 3 months that I have developed chronic ulcers .This disease has been attributed to prolonged periods of starvation which resulted from my inability to access food.I depend on my four sons to provide for my basic needs because my age of 94 does not allow me to do so.This dependence on them sometimes fails because they all have to carry the burden of their families,therefore leaving me to go hungry on some occasions.
