"Currently, we do not have enough food to eat in the home. We do not have enough money to buy necessities like food. We end up only having one single meal or two for each day that passes. This is majorly because my husband stays in Wakiso and comes this side only once in a long while. My house is so small and the roof is always leaking every time it rains. This even forced my elder son Emma to go and stay with the geand father Constant."

"The major challenge that I am currently facing is the water flows that come from uphill and pour into my house. During the rainy season, the heavy water from the upper village flows to our homes. This causes a lot of mud in our compounds and the water enters my house leaving me worried that anytime my house may be carried away. Also, am a poor man with barely enough to eat even a single meal for a day. So I have to struggle each day with no specific source of income to ensure I have a meal day. My garden is really small and I can only get enough for only a month after harvest after which I start struggling again."

"In the months to come, I am hoping to raise enough cash to purchase livestock, especially goats. I believe that these are the best assets that I can keep in my home and benefit a lot.
