Our house is getting smaller as the family keeps growing. We plan to build another two roomed iron sheets roofed house. The walls will be made of mud and sticks. It can cost approximately $300. A new house will provide our children enough space to sleep and also study. Due to food insecurity and lack of essential items in our home such as clothes, beddings and utensils. We plan to buy some using about $300 of the transfer. It will give us better living conditions.The food will also give us strength to focus on other activities such as planting grass. One of our children is in college studying engineering. We plan to spend the rest of the transfer on her education. We hope she can secure employment after school and have a better future. She can also assist us in the future where she can.

We own about thirty goats, able to milk on a daily basis. The milk is enough for tea or the children to drink. It makes me happy knowing we have something to depend on even during difficult times. Goats are our main source of happiness. We can also sell them during emergencies or for school fees.

Due to lack of casual jobs in the village we find it hard buying food. Getting enough meals per day is a big challenge for our family. Both of us are unemployed hence we depend on unreliable casual jobs or selling some goats. The goats have also depleted meaning we don't have the numbers to sell regularly. This leads us to sometimes go hungry or survive on a single meal.
