What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on clay soil which I have used to complete my house which I had build with my second transfer, I bought steel door and windows which I have already fixed on my house. The remaining amount, i spent to pay school fees for my child who was joining high school because at this particular moment, her father was not in any employment. I thank GD for the transfer.

What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I'm planning to spend my transfer on building a better bigger house since the one we stay in currently is smaller and the family number is bigger and finally the remainder I will use to buy some livestock to keep.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
The achievement I'm proudest of is having been able to build our current house, we used to be homeless for a long time and with little savings and hardwork,we managed to build this house.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I'm facing currently with my family is on making ends meet. .The farm is not doing better due to drought yet it's the only source of income we have.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the evening when all of my family members are together in the house either taking supper or chatting.
