What did you spend your third transfer on?
I used the cash to buy two cows worth fifteen thousand shillings each. I hired a farm and a tractor that I used to cultivate the land. I expect to have a bumper harvest at the end of the season, something that makes me so happy. The rest of the money I used to buy food for my family.
My family will have enough food once I harvest the bumper maize production.

What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
My first plan is to use part of the transfer to buy five bulls, that would help us to plough our farms, so that we have enough stock of food in the house, and also buy two cows as investment for future use. Lastly, I plan to use the remaining amount to buy food.

Having planted a hundred and twenty seedlings of pine trees, which I intend to sell in the future to earn some income, is the achievement I'm proudest of.

The biggest hardship I have faced is getting food to eat, due to inadequate source of income.
