What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my transfer on buying a cross breed dairy cow which I currently milk and sell to my neighbors for a small profit. I then spent the rest in contracting someone to make building bricks for me which I will be using to build a new modern house.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
I have seen a lot of difference in my life especially the fact that I now have a dairy cow that milk on a daily basis.

What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
We plan to spend our transfer on digging a borehole, buy two bulls to help with ploughing our farm and to pay school fees for our children.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
The achievement we're proudest of is being able to pay school fees for our children and having been able to build our current house.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship we face currently is lack of a sustainable income source. We fully depend on farming and have no other sources to suppliment.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the afternoon when I'm sewing clothes from customers using my sewing machine.
