I have received this money with both hands and the money has come in good time. I will use this money to build a house and buy beddings. I want to build a house so that I can live comfortably without going to the forest to get grass.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The one thing that has brought me joy in the past six months is when I managed to find some land so that I can grow some crops. My parents did not have enough land to live behind for us so a lot of land belongs to other people. I have to find money to rent land but sometimes I do not have money. However, right now I have managed to secure some land and I am very happy because this year I will be able to grow maize.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The challenges that I am facing currently is lack of food and lack of money. It can happen that I have maize but I lack money to visit the maize meal to prepare maize flour. I face these challenges because I am a single parent and I do not do any business so it is hard for me to earn money.
