I am planning to invest $800 to purchase 10 goats. This is a low risk venture with good returns as they multiply within a short period. I will then sell them one at a time to pay my children's fees when necessary.
What is the happiest part of your day?
Over the past one year I managed to save up $40 which I used to purchase a goat a few months ago. I am very excited to own such an asset as it would multiply over time and relieve me in case of a financial emergency.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Since I got divorced about one year ago, life has been tasking both emotionally and mentally. I am currently employed as a taxi driver and the $2 I earn in a day would only cater for my food or decide to send the entire amount towards supporting my 2 children. Things were different when my ex wife was with me since she used to supplement my income from her casual jobs in the village.
