We plan on buying 10 bags of maize so that our children are happy and are well fed daily. Then we plan on building a strong house for ourselves and our kids so that we have a decent sleeping place like some of our friends in this village. Thereafter we plan on buying 10 goats and breed them for business. This way we'd maintain our cash flow even after the transfers from your organisation are done. For now we can't put prices on these expenditures because costs keep rising daily nowadays.
What is the happiest part of your day?
On a daily basis we find meaning and joy in life when we have our meals as a family. That is when we have nsima for lunch and supper, then we are happy.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Currently the challenges we are facing are lack of food and proper housing for the 7 of us. We eat once or twice a day due to shortage of food as we didn't get anything from our previous harvest. On top of that we spent restless nights, especially on rainy days, as this house leaks and it is also small to accomodate us all.
