The money will meant having a good house,blanket, bed and kitchen utensils. I gave birth to six children and unfortunately one passed away. My eldest child is doing businesses in Lilongwe were he sales pots. I lost my husband my husband during 2020 campaign period. Currently I am doing a small business, I buy and sell bananas for a living. At times I do bake banana muffins locally known as Zitumbuwa. On average I make K9000 ($8.67) per week. I use the money to buy food. I do owned half acre piece of land. Due to lack of fertilizer I sometimes harvest 3 to 4 bags of maize weighing 50kgs each, but the land is capable of producing 12 to 15 nags of maize if fertilizer application is done accordingly. I use 70kgs of maize per month for my household. Based on that, what I harvest is only enough to takes us for 2 and half months. And then I buy maize that will be used for the next 10months. As I earlier told you that I lost my husband, it means I do most of the things alone. I do pay school fees for my children and I also use part of the money to take care of the house. This left me with no money to save for fertilizer. I have never benefited from Government Fertilizer subsidy program before. I want to build a nice house as the house am living in has dangerous clacks using the cash gift. Then I will reserve some money to buy food, fertilizer and beddings. I am sure I will invest a small amount of money into my banana business. In future I am planning to buy a large piece of land for family.

I am always happy in the morning because is the time I observed whether I am fine or sick. If am not sick and healthy, that cause for celebrations.

The passing of my husband has been the biggest hardship I faced in my life. If my husband was alive, we were doing business together and we could make K9000 (8.67$) per day the money I am able to make in a week. If he was alive, we would have been able to build an iron roofed house and we would have been able to buy good beddings.
