What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to buy two sheep, a mattress, cushions and various household items. The remaining funds will be used to set up a poultry rearing business, I will therefore need to buy day old chicks, feeding troughs, watering troughs, vaccines, feeds and finally build a large chicken coop.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is having been able to rear lots of chicken, the money that I have earned from the sale of most of these chicken has helped sustain my family.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face right now is lack of enough money to pay school fees for my children, my only source of income is from the sale of chicken that I rear but this is a seasonal business and it is not always profitable.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning when I wake up and I am able to live another day, I get to praise the Lord and this makes me very happy.
