What did you spend your third transfer on?
I had a son who had just completed his primary but I did not have the money to take him to secondary school but I thank God I received the third transfer and managed to take him to a driving school. He is now a driver only waiting for his license and hopefully he will hit the road. The remaining I spent on buying more furniture.

What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer on purchasing a water pump. Being a horticultural farmer, I have always found it very challenging watering my farm using water can during dry seasons,I therefore got convinced that this transfer would best be spent on buying a water pump.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I easily water my crops which in turn yield well and bring me much income.

What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
We plan to spend our transfer on paying school fees for our three children in secondary school, one is currently in forth form,another in form three and one is in form one.We also intend to acquire two cows to raise and any balance remaining we will use to cement the floor of our house.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
The achievement we're proudest of is having been able to educate our children through primary school and now three of them are in secondary school with another expected to join university soon having passed her secondary education with flying colors.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship we face so much is on paying school fees for our children in secondary school, farming has also been a challenge to us given that alot of materials like fertilizer is required for better yields and all these needs money which we don't have.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is normally in the morning when I'm attending to my farm. We grow maize,millet and even rice.
