What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
We are planning to buy cement, sand, iron roofing sheets, nails, round poles and timber which we will use to build a better house for our family. The remaining transfers will be used to buy a dairy cow which will provide us with milk for our own consumption.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is having worked in my farm for many years and managed to buy a ploughing machine, some cows and built my house with funds I got after selling maize and sweet potatoes that I harvested.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face right now is lack of a sustainable source of income for myself, this means that my family often lacks basic needs like three nutritious meals a day.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning when I wake up. I am usually very happy because I can thank the Lord for blessing me and my family with good health.
