Receiving this money means that I will first finish up constructing this house so that I move out of this boysquarter. I plan on buying iron sheets which would cost 400$ for the whole roof. I would do this because I want my house to look like a home where I and my family are to live in comfort. Having done that, I will go on and buy 5 female goats so that they breed and multiply and I sell them when in need.
What is the happiest part of your day?
For me mornings are my happiest moments especially when I'm up and on my way to my maize field farming with my family.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Currently the only thing making my life hard is hunger in my household. I and my family do farm but of late we've been discouraged with the outcomes of our hardwork since we come out empty from our maize field harvests. I attribute this to the fact that we don't apply fertilizer in our fields. We don't apply fertilizer because we are unable to afford the fertilizers due to high prices, thus 60$.
