"My mom is diabetic and has kidney failure due to this am uneasy and therefore would want to give a hand just to see her improving,she has been like this for a while now. I would want to invest in a new business of selling 2nd hand clothes(mtumba) after having a discussion with a close friend of mine and we agreed that once we secure finances we will start this business. Due to heavy debts I would also want to clear them at least to set me free, so far I have two children and for a while now have been unable to at least provide enough clothing for them. I would want them to look neat like children who really have parents. "
