What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent part of my third transfer on buying furniture as I only had one and any time I hosted visitors, I had to ask more from my neighbors to accommodate them. I also bought a cow for milk production purposes to avoid buying from the neighbours and save the money. The remaining I spent on buying utensils for my kitchen.

What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
We plan to invest part of our transfer on sugarcane farming by buying seeds, fertilizers and pay for labour, secondly we intend to buy one dairy cow and use the remaining amount to buy household items like furniture.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
Few months ago I was able to buy one goat after saving money from casual jobs. I hope it will give birth to many more and make me even prouder.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
As a woman,I take pride in a neat and clean house but as you can see I have no furniture and my house looks empty,I see this as a hardship since when visitors come, they can't find any chair to sit on.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My happiest part of the day is in the afternoon after spending morning hours in the farm.This time allows me to rest and watch over my youngest child.
