What did you spend your second transfer on?
I used a portion of the transfer to buy chairs because I only had one. I spent a portion of the remaining transfer to settle my son who was in collage fee balance. I also constructed a water well with the rest of the money.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have water well at the door step. This has enhances me opportunity to engage in farming activities which generate my family reliable income. Apart from that, my wife who used to travel longer distances and come back very tired is relieved since she has water at the door step.

I spent the whole of my first transfer to dig a borehole. In my area there is water problem so I thought it wise to sink a borehole to avoid the hustle of drawing water from long distances.

When I received the transfer,I was very happy. I knew my problem of water shortage was going to be history. Thank God it has come to pass.

What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I plan to boost my livestock trading business, which has been a good source of income. I also plan to buy two bulls to help in ploughing our farm.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
The achievement I'm proudest of is being able to pay school fees for my children, with proceeds from farming. I do sweet potatoe farming on large scale.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I'm facing currently is lack of a sustainable income source. I solely depend on livestock trading which is not always reliable due to flactuating prices.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is at night after our evening meal, this time I dedicate on studying the bible.
