What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
Our first plan is to use part of the transfer to build a bigger house because this one is smaller and some of our children have to sleep somewhere else. Secondly, we intend to use another part of the transfer to start a small business of buying and re-selling of cattle. Lastly, we intend to use the remaining amount to pay school fees for our three children in secondary school and five in primary school.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
The achievement I'm very proud of is that, through my farming activity, I have been able to support my family to-date.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship we're facing currently is, providing for the basic needs of our family. This is because of the unreliable source of income.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the evening after having supper and we sit down together as a family and everyone seems satisfied.
