Given my ongoing struggles with acquiring enough money for food and basic household items, I am planning to address our immediate needs and secure our future income. Initially, I intend to allocate KES 5,000 for food and KES 6,000 for purchasing mattresses and chairs, which are essential for our comfort. Looking towards securing a future income source, I plan to invest KES 9,000 in acquiring two goats, which I believe will sustain my family in the long term through breeding and the sale of offspring. Addressing our long-standing housing issue, I aim to utilize KES 45,000 to purchase construction materials for a larger house capable of accommodating all 5 members of my family. Furthermore, to enhance our income security, I plan to allocate another KES 45,000 towards purchasing a generator and irrigation pipes for my one-acre farm. This investment is crucial for revitalizing the farm and making it productive, which will ultimately contribute to our financial stability in the future.

I found great happiness when my dream of owning livestock finally came true. As part of a women's group, we pooled our resources through a monthly contribution model to purchase a sheep for each member. Receiving mine filled me with immense joy and optimism, believing that it will reproduce and become a reliable source of income for my family.

I own a one-acre farm that currently lies unproductive due to lack of funds for buying inputs such as HDPE pipes and a generator needed for irrigation. Developing this farm could significantly improve my family's income. Additionally, our one-room house is inadequate for our family of 5. We cannot afford to build another house to accommodate everyone. We also lack basic household items such as beds and bedding. The income of KES 2,000 per week from charcoal burning is insufficient to cover our food cost and other essential needs for the family.
