"The main challenge here is how to raise money to pay my children school fees and pay their hospital bill just in case they are sick. I considered money to be a major challenge because this is the only way I will be able to do what I have mentioned earlier without money, I will not do anything about that. In addition to that, it is very difficult to raise money here. The fufu I most time depend on to raise money doesn't have good price these day."
