What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent most part of my third transfer on paying school fees for my daughter who, is clearing her secondary school this year. I am glad her fees arrears for this year is cleared. The remaining I spent on buying building materials that I did not manage to buy using my second transfer. I built a new house using the materials given that the previous was almost collapsing since the place is swampy.

What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent most of my transfer to pay school fees for my children because I did not want my children to be sent home for school fees, bought a bull which will aid me in ploughing my farms hence reduction in human labor charges and also bought food clothes for my children and myself.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference is that am now a proud father because my daughter completed her secondary education courtesy of GD which she could not have done due to my financial status and this has made me very happy.

What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
My plan is to buy two bulls that I will use in ploughing my land,I also intend to use part of it to pay school fees for my children in secondary school and lastly I will use the remaining amount to buy household items like furniture.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
The achievement I'm proudest of is having saved money from farming and bought one piece of land which I'm currently ploughing ready for planting.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I'm facing currently is on paying school fees for my children and also on making ends meet since farming alone cannot provide daily food for the family and at same time provide enough money for school fees.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is when I'm grazing the two cows I have in the afternoon after coming back from my farm.
