What does receiving this money mean to you?
The money will meant a lot to us in so any ways like improving my house and to buy beddings. We are 5 in the family, 3 children and us the couple. We used to do business before covid 19 but I lost my capital. Due to that we have started doing commercial farming but we are failing to meat good standards due to luck of resources. In addition my husband has gone into brick making business which is not that much profitable. With the money, I will buy mattress, cement and I will reserve enough capital to restart our fish business.
What is the happiest part of your day?
In the past 6 months I managed to sell my bricks at a high price than usual. The proceeds made me to invest in irrigation farming.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Currently the main challenge that I am failing is not having enough capital. This is bring us back to develop. Further more luck of food. We did not harvest enough last year and that has made us to have food which is not enough.
