What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to spend my transfer on renovating my house and expanding it by buying thirty iron sheets,I will spend part of the transfer on paying school fees for my child who is in secondary school and I will also buy a water tank that I can use in harvesting water when it rains. The remaining amount I will spend on buying five goats that I can rear and sell whenever I have issues in getting cash.

The biggest hardship that I face in my life is in terms of raising school fees for my child as getting money has not been easy as my farm income is not stable.

The happiest part of my day is when I go out in the morning to graze my dairy cow. This makes me happy as in the evening I am able to milk it and get some milk for my family.
