What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest challenge is that the landslide destroyed my garden that had Banana plantations, coffee plantations and caliptus trees last year in October 2021in Nakatore village. So right now it's hard for me and my family to survive because all the crops were destroyed .We no longer use the garden because it's full of stones and water still flows through the garden.
When it rains heavily the water comes from underground and it gets too cold which makes it had to sleep in the house and we fall sick on the monthly basis because of the coldness.
