What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to spend my transfer settling a debt that I owe our saving and lending sheme called Silk as I used the cash to pay school fees for my children. The second transfer I will spend on buying two bulls that we will use in ploughing our farm and part of the second transfer I will use in paying school fees for my children. The final transfer I will use it in buying fifteen iron sheets that I will use in building a bigger house.

The achievement that I am proudest of is that I have been able to take my first born son to school till he finshed secondary school using cash that I have saved from the sale of my farm harvest.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The bigget hardship that I face in my life is that we don't have a bull and a ploughing machine hence at times we are forced to work for other people so that we can be given a ploughing machine and this is expensive on our side.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is when my kids come home from school and we are able to have some chart of how their day has been. This makes me happy the most.
