What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to spend my transfer on buying building materials like iron sheets, nails and cement so that I can rebuild my house that got burnt down, I will spend part of the transfer on buying one bull that I will use in ploughing my farm and one dairy cow. The remaining amount I will spend on buying furniture for my house and also in starting a small business of selling groceries at the local market.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
The achievement that I am proudest of is that I was able to plant vegetables on my farm which enabled me to get some cash that I spent on buying a dairy cow that I keep for milk.
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 getting money to buy food during dry season is a challenge to me and this at times forces me and my family to go a day without a meal.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is when I go out in the morning to do casual work for other people like ploughing their land and I get paid in the evening. This makes me happy as eventually I get cash that I can use to buy food for my family.
