When I receive this money, I will firstly build a house on the land I bought, then invest some of the amount in livestock since the chickens I had were attacked by newcastle disease so I have none now. The remaining amount will be used to buy food.
What is the happiest part of your day?
We planted okra and sold it for more than K300,000 which we used to buy land uphill to run from the floods. The other money was used for household needs.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The major challenge we have is money. We rely on agriculture but our gardens are full of water so our crop is not doing well. Therefore nothing to sell and hence no money. Likewise, we don't have food for the household since we didn't have good harvests and can't buy. My wife sells tomatoes at the market but that's barely keeping us.
