Recieving this money would help me to buy livestock such as goats for rearing. Goats are easy to maintain and good breeders since they give birth to kids within a short time period. I would sell the goats to be able to easily provide basic needs for my family.
What is the happiest part of your day?
In the month of July, I was the happiest because I had a casual job for two weeks. I was plastering a house and was paid K30,000 which I used to buy a bag of maize at K15,000. The remaining money I used it to buy other basic needs for my family such as soap, body lotion and relish.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The challenge that I am currently facing is access to clean water. I have to travel a distance for about 1 kilometer to fetch water at a borehole. When am not available at home it becomes a big challenge for my wife to go fetch water since we have three children and the youngest are twins who are a year old. This has been affecting my family's health because we are forced to drink water from unprotected wells which are closer to our house.
