What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to pay school fees for my son who is in secondary school. The remaining transfers will be used to buy sand, cement, timber, round poles, nails, iron roofing, cedar poles and aggregate which I will use to establish my own homestead. I will begin by fencing the piece of land and then build a better house for my family.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is having worked as a mason for quite a while and after saving most of my wages I have been able to pay school fees for my son who is in secondary school.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face right now is lack of enough land acreage, I currently own a very small piece of land, which is not economically viable for crop farming. If I am unable to raise enough money to buy some more land I might not be able to plant any crops which I can harvest and use to feed my family.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning when I wake up because the Lord has blessed me and my family.
