What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to increase the quantity of stock that I purchase for my small business which deals with fast moving consumer goods. The remaining transfers will be used to buy sand, cement, timber, nails and iron roofing sheets which I will use to renovate my house.

My proudest achievement is having started a small business selling fast moving consumer goods and saving a large part of my profits. This has enabled me to buy household items like chairs and also pay school fees for my children.

The happiest part of my day is in the morning when I wake up because I can thank the Lord for blessing me and my family.
