My daily source of income comes from selling 5 litres of milk daily produced by my two cows at ksh 30 per litre. I therefore plan to add one more cow that will increase milk surplus meaning i will be able to increase my daily sales thus i won't have much struggles paying school fees for my last born son who will be joining secondary school next year. My second transfer will enable me to fence my compound with barbed wire and wire mesh then initiate poultry project that will supplement the income i usually earn from selling milk.
What is the happiest part of your day?
Taking a rest in the evening after achieving the plans that i had set for the day makes this the happiest part of my day since it is also the time i meditate on what transpired during the day as i think of my schedules for the following day.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
I owned 5 acre piece of land five years ago which i had to sell in order to pay medical bills for my wife who latter passed away after being ill for long. I was left with 1acre which i practice my farming in. This has been challenging to me in that my cattle can't get surplus feeds from the farm which forces me to herd them along the roads thus exposing them to bacterial infections and diseases
