What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
We are planning to invest in farming by acquiring two bulls and one dairy cow, purchase 6000 litre water tank to harvest rain water because we live far away from the water source, and use the remaining amount on our daughter's high school fee.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
Our proudest achievement is that we have a house that we built with our income from farming.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship we face in life is that our income isn't sufficient to meet all the family's basic needs since we depend alot on rain fed farming that is very unpredictable.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning when I set off for work in my farm knowing that I will reap from hard work.
