Receiving this money means I will start up a saloon business that will be the source of income to the household. Currently, I work in some one else's saloon and paid a wage which is not sustainable.
I will then buy oxen in order to support in ploughing land and a cow as an investment. This will lead to early crop planting and good yields. The cow will multiply in order to act as another investment for the household. The offspring can n sold in order to solve other problems.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the evening after a hard day's work. I join friends in the nearby centre, seat in social groups for local brew and that makes me reluxed.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
I have plenty of ideas but my biggest hardship is inadequate funds in order to implement those ideas. The money I am paid from working in the saloon is very little and the income from farmibg is not also reliable. Farming is affected by poor weather, pests and diseases which reduce on the yields hence low incomes.
