What did you spend your third transfer on?
Previously I was employed to ride someone else's motorcycle which was not giving me a good income, so I decided to save the other two transfers, added them to the third transfer and used to buy a new motorcycle. Now that I'm currently operating my own motorcycle my income has improved thus I can comfortably meet my family needs.

What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer to buy two bulls for ploughing. I no longer have to pay for the bulls to ploughed for. I also bought a sacks of corn for my family consumption being that the droughts took too long and we never had enough to eat.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I no longer have to spend money to hire the bulls for ploughing. I have the money going to do something else and I can say that I have been able to save a lot out of this.

What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to spend my transfer on buying my own motorcycle as the one I ride is a hired one.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
The achievement that I am proudest of is that I was able to build my own house using cash that I had saved from the motorcycle transport business.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face in my life is that my income is very low and the motorcycle I am using is a hired one so most of the cash that I make goes to the owner and I am left with very little to support my family.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is when I wake up in the morning and go to do the motorcycle transport business. This makes me happy as I get income that I use to support my family.
