When I get this money, I will complete my house by installing windows, doors and cement. I will also use it to buy food at least 10 bags of maize which for just us two, will take us time. I will also buy livestock because I completely have none.
What is the happiest part of your day?
In June is when I completed my house and put iron sheets. This was a happy moment for me because it was something I always wanted, to not be stressed with the rains because my house is in condition.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Our main challenge is food. This is because of how the rains go here. They start late and stop early. I also don't have a stable source of income to help me attain all that I need. I do rainfed farming and also irrigation farming in winter. I farm onions. I had good sells this year and that how I built the house i live in. So I don't have a problem with housing but utensils in the house. I don't even have doors because the money finished before I could get doors. I sleep on a woven mat and lack good beddings. Comfortable sleep is important aside the house being in condition.
