This money means survival and development for me and my family. It means I can purchase some land for about $833 and do some farming there. This means that I can have extra food that I can store and keep for future consumption so that we do not lack food again. Also, I plan on buying a cow which will cost me about $556 for purposely milk consumption. The milk will be taken by my family and this will enhance their nutrition and also will be security incase we ever get a challenge in future.
What is the happiest part of your day?
Ohh! Iast year, my daughter Nandutu Moureen sat her exams in Primary SIX at Shitumi Primary school in Buganza. She excelled highly, and she came first in her entire class. I got so happy seeing g her excel and I hope and pray she keeps it up. "You see, I am always praying for my children to get educated."
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The land that i constructed my house in is very small. It only stops a few meters and my house covers it all and thus cannot do any other activity like small scale farming on it. So, lack of enough land to grow more crops is the greatest challenge that I am facing. Usually, we get our food from my other small plot of land uphill. Last year in November, the landslides destroyed my crops there, and I got so sad and worried. So my family is big as we are 9 members in the family and there is no enough food to eat. This has been my other challenge.
