We are planning on buying a plot of land in Buwakoko where we can pla t our crops like maize and beans. This will take us about $792 of our transfer money. This will help us ensure we have enough food that we can eat and store some in case of scarcity. We are also planning on constructing a bigger four roomed house with 28 iron sheets. This will take us about $416 to ensure the house is complete. We shall use $217 to purchase a cow that we can graze and, in the future's produce we multiply.

We are generally happy that we are alive and have no health conditions that we need to constantly take care of. The mere fact that I talked to my husband on Tuesday made me happy as we had taken long without talking from the time he left. I am happy that I am surviving, and however much we don't have enough to eat , we never sleep on completely empty stomachs.

Since the departure of my husband who went to Kenya, I have been struggling to ensure that my family eats food on a daily basis. We barely eat three meals a day and yet still struggle. We get less help from my husband since he is hustling in Kenya as a casual labourer. This has been my greatest challenge in keeping the home. Recently, my son Makayi Peter cut his leg while he was cutting grass for the cow to eat. This made him sit at home for about a week, yet his colleagues were continuing to study.
