What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means I will be able to buy land. I separated with my spouse and returned to my parents home. My parents did not given me a share of customary land, hence I donot have where to cultivate and build a homestead. This has always tortured me since Iam treated as come back. Iam borrowing where to cultivate each seaon. This has always made me delay planting and I end up getting low out put which can not sustaing my family.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My happiest moments is in afternoon hours. Iam able to chat with neighbours a bout business I deas. This is really helping me a lot in earning a living from my "Omena" (small fish) business.
