Sofia Lungu is married and mother of 8 children. She lives in Apollo Dam 2 in Msekera Area. She has a big farm with 15 ha. of land. She grows crops during the rainy season like: maize, groundnuts and soya beans. She always liked to grow vegetables outside the rainy season and now that she has a pump on her open well it makes it more easy for her to water the vegetables. She will also use the water for household.
