What did you spend your first transfer on?
I used 7,000 KES to pay my son in high school fee. I also invested the remaining portion in stone mining.

I'm planning to settle school fee balance with a portion of the transfer while the rest I'll use to enlarge my house because it is too small.

What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I would like to spend part of the amount on school fees. I would also like to enlarge my house so that it can accommodate my expanding family. Lastly,I would like to buy an ox-plough that will aid in farming.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
I would say being a cash crop farmer is my proudest achievement because farming is my main source of income.

My biggest hardship has been the burden of school fees because right now I have a son who has been sent away from school because I have not paid his school fees.
