"Not having enough capital is my greatest challenge, I started raising livestocks recently but to be able to expand and buy more additional livestocks requires more capital which we can not get because we don't have access to loans. And i try to sell banana juice to be able to gain money to use in our home expenses but we do face some loses because we sell on credit most of the time and they all mainly fall into bad debts. My son Bosco had to stop his studies to help me out because I am a single mother raising all my 4 children, it is not easy having all that responsibility and sometimes i have to seek support from them which makes them leave some important activities or put their dreams on hold to help me out."
