What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to buy sand, cement and lime which I will use to plaster my house. Some of the transfers will be used to buy a dairy cow so that I can get some milk for my own consumption and sell any surplus to my fellow villagers.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is having saved money that I got from selling my farm produce and eventually managed to buy iron roofing sheets which I used to repair the roof of my current house.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face right now is ill health, I often have to carry out very many manual tasks in my farm and whenever I have problems with my health my farms often lie fallow.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning when I wake because I am able to praise the Lord and ask him to bless my family and I.
