I spent my first transfer on hiring a tractor to cultivate 2 acres of land (5,000 KES), and bought Certified maize and sorghum seeds (3,500 KES)
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment when I received my money I cried with joy, thanked God and immediately went out to start off my plans. It happened that my neighbours had already cultivated land in preparation for the current rainy season but my piece of land remained unprepared because I had no money and felt stressed. To me the transfer just came on time.
