"The challenge I am currently facing is that I have to work hard to put food on the table and also look for capital to start up a business because my husband is blind for now 5 years. This happened when he was diagnosed with high blood pressure and at the same time with diabetes disease. Before the incidence happen, he was a very hardworking herdsman with 4 cows. And he was able to sell off one cow and bought a piece of land where we are right now. I feel the burden of buying food , taking care of him that sometimes I am forced to lock him all alone in the house since there's no one to take care of him except me while I am away trying to raise some money for food and medication ."
