What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to buy day old chicks and some free range chicken, these I will rear and sell the chickens and their eggs. I will also need to buy materials which will be used to build a chicken coop and buy various implements for use by the chicken.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is having worked for many years as a forest ranger, my job enabled me to educate my children, one even managed to complete his college education while his siblings all completed secondary schools.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face right now is lack of a sustainable source of income, ever since I retired from my former job, life has been very difficult as I have had to forgo a lot of things which were indispensable to me.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning when I wake up because I usually look forward to having a fruitful day.
