What did you spend your first transfer on?
I used 8,000 KES to buy a cow. I also paid fee to my two children in primary school.
What are you planning to spend your upcoming transfer on?
I'm planning to cement the floor of my house because it is earth at the moment. I'm also planning to purchase some furniture with the remaining portion.

What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to invest in farming by buying three bulls for ploughing because it is my main source of income, plaster my house to save me the energy and time for smearing, and save the remaining amount for my two children who are joining high school next year.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is that I have a home that I have struggled to set up using my savings from farming. I am happy that my family has a shelter to come back to each day.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I have in life is financial distress. I am a farmer and my income is not sufficient to meet all my financial needs. It's barely enough for food and school fee.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning when I am at my farm working because it's where my financial help comes from.
