What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my first transfer on digging a well to help in water supply during cultivation period. More to this I purchased a water pump to be used in pumping the water from the well to farm that is a bit far. Through these,I see my crops doing so well and promising a lot of returns at the end.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
I have seen a very big difference in my life as I no longer carry water using cans to water my vegetable plantations. This has greatly smoothened the operations on the firm.

What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
Firstly, we plan to use part of the transfer to buy a water pump, that we plan to use in irrigating our farm, where we intend to grow tomatoes and kales to sell and earn some income for the family. Secondly, we intend to use another part of the transfer to pay hospital bill for my wife, who is supposed to undergo an operation. Lastly, we plan to use the remaining amount to build a bigger house, because this one is small, and is in a bad condition.

The happiest part of my day is in the evenings, when I am in my farm, inspecting tomatoes.
