What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to spend my transfer on buying four bulls that we can use in ploughing our farm,my husband repairs motorcycles hence we will spend part of the transfer on buying pressure pumps that we can use in washing vehicles and motorcycles at a fee and the remaining amount we will spend on buying cement and sand that will be used in repairing our house.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
The achievement that I am proudest of is that through farming we have been able to take an orphan to school from primary school up to university.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face in my life is that ploughing our land is not easy as the bulls that we used to have were sold and now we don't have any animal that we can use in ploughing our farm hence this makes farming to be a difficult task for us.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is when I go to my farm in the morning to plough it so that I can plant vegetables. This makes me happy as when the crops grow well,I can harvest and have food for my family.
