What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I plan to spend the transfer to expand my house and build a kitchen. I also plan to use the transfer to start a small business that will help me get income. I also plan to spend the remaining balance to pay school fees for my children in high school.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is that I have managed to build a house for my family. I managed to do this though saving some money that I got from quarrying building stones.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I have faced in life is inadequate agricultural land that I can use to grow crops. This has been a challenge to me because it makes me get less harvest.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning when am grazing my cows. I feel proud because I they provide with milk.
