Receiving this money would mean that we'd be able to buy food. For now we'd buy 4 bags of maize, for food is life and with energy we are able to be productive. As a HH we'd take part of that money and open up a shop selling groceries right here. We'd do this in a week's time soon after receiving this money. We'd also venture into livestock farming thus, goats, ducks and chicken. We'd broaden our investments in this way because we believe that this money might be our gateway out of poverty and we'd be set for life in terms of improved livelihood.
What is the happiest part of your day?
Being with them and interacting on different topics brings me happiness as that way I am able to relieve my stress.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Like I mentioned earlier, we rely on farming. So with the climate change and the erratic rains our harvests have declined and we struggle to feed our family. We used to get 70 to 60 bags of maize but like this year we only got 20 bags of maize. Another challenge we have is our 12 year daughter, Slevi Abasi, who suffers from a mysterious form of malaria. We spend alot of money on her health care almost on a monthly basis.
