When i get this money i will use it to build a house since I already have a burnt oven. I will use it to buy iron sheets and pay the builders. I will also invest in goats and chickens to sell when there is need. Another amount will be used to buy food since I completely have none.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The only thing that makes my life pleasant is that at times I do get help from others. Although we are all lacking but people try to be there for me.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My biggest challenge is food. I don't have food and have been cooking mangoes as meals because I don't have maize. I try to find work but I'm old, there's only so much I can do. This worsens the pressure and I end up sleeping on empty stomachs most times. We are all struggling so it's unfair to go out and ask for food. So I just suffer in silence.
