How is your life currently different from how it was four months ago?
My life is currently different from how it was four months ago because I am eating well as compared to before when I would have two meals in a day. I also now have my own cow that I get milk from everyday for my consumption and also selling it to the community and getting money for my up keep.
Do you have any new or additional goals for your life for the next four months?
My new goal is to invest in farming where I am planning to do a large scale farming and get enough produce that I will sell and spend the money to buy building materials and build a new spacious comfortable house. Because I need a house that is able to accommodate my church members when they come for fellowship.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I now have a stable reliable source of Income. I managed to buy a dairy cow and fortunately it has started producing milk. Of which l sell some milk in our local market and some for my family consumption. Since the milk has started getting me some income, my family has never gone to bed hungry. We are able to at least meet our daily needs.
How do you expect your life to change in the next six months?
In the next six months l expect to have started cultivate my farm with hope of getting enough produce come harvesting season.
