What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to spend my transfer on buying a generator that we can use to pump water that will be used in irrigating our farm as our land becomes very dry during dry seasons, I will use part of the transfer on renovating our house by buying bags of cement so that we can plaster our floor as the dust from our house currently is affecting my chest, I have chest problem and I haven't had cash to go to hospital for check up so I will use part of the transfer to pay for any medical bill that may arise if I go for check up and the remaining amount I will use to pay school fees for our four children who are in an academy in Kodula so that they are not sent home for fees.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
The achievement I am proudest of is that we have been able to build our current house using cash that we got from the sale of our farm produce as we did not have a house in the past.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that we face in our life is that during the El Nino rains,our farms got destroyed and all the crops were affected so we still don't have food to eat or to sell in order to get cash to support our family.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is when I go to the market to sell groceries like tomatoes, kales and onions in the morning,I am happy because after I have sold them I will have cash that I can use to buy food for my family.
