What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to spend my transfer on ploughing my land that has been virgin for many year by hiring a tractor to tilt it,I will also use some of it to renovate my current house and lastly I will buy house furniture.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
The achievement I am proudest of is having been able to raise my four children single handedly after their father died many years ago..Most times I do manual jobs for people around here to get some money to help with sustaining my family.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I am facing in my life currently is on making ends meet..I do not have proper source of income which makes it hard for me feed my family.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning when I visit my farm to cultivate with hopes of getting better yields when the harvest period comes.Most of my time is dedicated in farming as this is my only hope of livelihood.
