Receiving this money means completion of my house. My house is unfinished because I do not have money to buy iron sheets and timber for roofing purposes. Timber, iron sheets and labour charges will cost me KES 30,000. Covering my house means I will be able to be independent and enjoy my privacy. I will later spend KES 60,000 to buy two indigenous dairy cows for milk production. The milk will serve two purposes; domestic consumption and for sale. With all this, I will finally live a comfortable life away from suffering and misery.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The unity in my family is amazing. We cooperate in everything we plan and we end up succeeding in almost everything we come up with. This really makes me happy.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The departure of my wife to their matrimonial home a year ago because I failed to pay dowry has left me live a lonely life. I used to enjoy lots of amazing moments with my wife and I miss everything about her. Every night is always sad and filled with stress.
