"I expect my life to change in the next six months because I will have built a decent house. I will no longer be rained on after moving into the new house. This will give me inner peace and also spare me from being gossiped about in the village. Being that this condition still disrupts my sleep and normally disorients terribly. I hope to enjoy my sleep the whole night when this goal actualizes."

Rehema's family
access_time 5 years ago
Rehema enrolled.
"Food insecurity is our biggest hurdle and this is because the weather here is unfavourable thus affecting crop production. Last year we got very little harvest due to low rainfall and we now have to dig deep into our pockets to buy food from the shops. Being a casual worker with an income of not more than 2000 shillings every month, buying enough food to satisfy my family of six on a daily basis is no easy task, most times, we can only afford one or two meals in a day."
