What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to use my funds to invest in farming so as to earn more income. I will purchase two dairy cows and four bulls for ploughing. I also plan to use part of the money on school fee.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is that through savings and loaning groups that I joined, I managed to purchase eight goats which I later converted into cash to build my house.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I face in my life is that I lack sufficient funds to feed, educate and clothe my family because my spouse and I lack a reliable source of income.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the afternoon when I am through with my daily tasks and I have some income.
