What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
We are planning to buy household items like a mattress, some utensils and a chair. Some of the transfers will be used to buy two oxen and a ploughing machine.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is having started a small business selling tomatoes, onions and vegetables, after saving for a while I was able to buy a goat with the proceeds from my business.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that we face right now is lack of enough money to buy some oxen and a ploughing machine, this means we use manual means to till our farm and this is not very efficient.

The happiest part of my day is around midday when I am with my family and we are having a meal together.
