"My house is old and the iron sheets are rusty and leak in some areas. The walls have become very hectic to maintain through smearing because it needs to be done frequently which I can't keep up with due to my age.

I hope that in the next six months, I will have started saving and purchasing the required materials because this way,I will know whether I can do it or not."

I am happy I have managed to buy cow as my future investment I will not spend money a gain buying milk from the community."
