What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spend part of my third transfer on fixing a steel door and 3 windows because I had a wooden door which was weak and had no windows which could make my house stuffy especially when cooking. I also constructed a latrine because previously I used to help myself in the bush which was embarrassing. Part of the money also went on building a kitchen which my children also use as a sleeping place at night and I am happy because I have a separate cooking place and my own latrine which I did not own before.

What did you spend your second transfer on?
When I received my second transfer, I spent on building materials including a lorry of ballast, 20 bags of cement and a lorry of sand that I will soon be using for the plastering of my main house. My current house is made of mud and this is shameful to us especially at this era. I would be glad to embrace change.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
Currently, I don't have to experience a sleepless night as before. Initially, I had a lot of unmet needs that would linger in my mind curbing me from sleeping more comfortably and therefore if this is no longer the case, I have to mention it as my biggest different in my daily life.

What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to pay school fees for my daughters who are in secondary schools and primary schools.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is having been a successful farmer and managed to educate quite a few of my children with money that I got after selling my farm produce.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face right now is lack of enough money to pay school fees for my children who are in secondary and primary schools. If I am unable to raise the required fees some of them may have to defer their studies.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning when I wake up because the Lord has blessed me with life and I can praise and worship him.
