What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
We're planning to spend our transfer on investment in our horticultural farming,we grow tomatoes and kales in large scale and the remainder we intend to use in buying a cross breed cow that will help in giving us milk both for sale and domestic use.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
The achievement we're proudest of is having been able to set up a small business that is helping us in day to days needs when the horticultural proceeds do not bring much.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship we're facing currently is on the size of our house which has become smaller due to the increase in the number of family members and also paying school fees for our children is proving to be hard.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is normally in the evening when we sit together as a family taking our evening meal and just chatting the evening away,it gives me joy to see the family happy.
