What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
We plan to spend the transfer to pay school fees for our children in high school. We also plan to spend the transfer to start a business to help improve our income. We also plan to spend the transfer to buy bulls and oxen plough to help us during ploughing. This is because ploughing has been expensive because we had to hire.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
Our proudest achievement is that we have worked hard and managed to plaster the floor of our house.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that we have faced in life is that we have been struggling to plough our farms because we don't have oxen plough. We normally depend on the ones for hire but they are expensive. This inhibits our capacity to get good harvest.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the evening when am having dinner with my family.
