What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to spend my transfer on building a bigger house so that I can have extra rooms as currently I have two rooms and I need three rooms, I will spend part of my transfer on paying dowry for my wife and the remaining amount I will use part of the cash on buying maize seeds that I will plant on my farm.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
The achievement I am proudest of is that I have a farm that I had planted maize and the crops have done well and I have a very good harvest of which I am proud.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face in my life is shortage of water as where we get water is very far and we walk for over two hours to reach the water point and at times we even miss the water after covering that long distance.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is when I go to my farm in the morning to do some weeding and I see my crops growing healthy then I am happy.
