To safeguard my family from the effects of the floods in future, I plan to allocate KES 15,000 towards relocating and reconstructing our house in a higher, safer location within our compound.
To make my land productive, I intend to invest KES 30,000 in purchasing necessary farm inputs such as tilling services, seeds, fertilizer, chemicals, and fuel.
Furthermore, to ensure sustainable income for my family, I will use KES 65,000 to expand my business. This investment will include constructing a small structure and purchasing sufficient stock. The increased profitability from the business will provide essential food and funds for purchasing other necessities for my family.
What is the happiest part of your day?
Starting my small business brought me immense joy. It has fulfilled my prayers for an opportunity to sustain my family and generate income. Thanks to the business, we now have reliable access to food, clothing, and other essential needs.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
I'm facing challenges in expanding my newly started small business in the village. Selling goods in the open air leads to spoilage since i lack the resources to build a structure.
Additionally, seeing my one-acre farming land unused gives me stress; I wanted to plant watermelon but could not due to financial constraints. Moreover, after experiencing flood damage to my home, I intended to relocate it to higher ground within the compound, but financial limitations prevent me from doing so.
