The money will mean a lot to me, I will be able to buy fertiliser and some other farm inputs to help me harvest more than I usually do. I will also use the money to start a small business. I am old and I get sick most of the times due to old age,this makes it hard for me to source money. I sell brooms and doghnurt in order to earn money. I sell a bunch of brooms at 2000 each and at the end of the month I earn about MK 40000 plus the money I get from selling doghnurt.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is evening when I have food to eat after selling doghnurt and brooms.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The hardship that I have faced is getting sick now and then due to my old age,there are alot of things that I used to do myself but now I am not able to do them, I can't even manage to draw water. I used to work hard and do business years back but now it's hard I can't even walk long distances due to my sickness.
