I would take 150 thousand and invest it in business of buying and selling of bags for it seems profitable when we observe those doing it. The remainder of that money would be used to buy food for my house.
What is the happiest part of your day?
Last month, August, when we sold our soya and were able to realize 30000 kwacha from that sale brought us joy and ability to buy food for that month. We also invested some of that money in charcoal business where we were able to make about 40 thousand from a 20 thousand investment. Above all the greatest joy came from the birth of our first born daughter the one you see here who was born on 20th July this year.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Means to find money to buy food for my household is the only stress causing trait in my life. For example we only take lunch and supper, thus, skipping breakfast daily because we are unable to afford it and for a breastfeeding mother like myself it is bad for the baby.
