What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to spend my transfer on paying school fees for my three children who are in secondary school,I will use part of the transfer on renovating my house by buying sand and ten bags of cement. The remaining amount I will spend on buying a generator and a pump so that I can use in irrigating my farm land and the rest I will buy two cows that will be used to pay for my dowry.

The achievement that I am proudest of is that we have been able to grow vegetable like kales and sold the harvest which has enabled our kids to remain in school up to today.

The happiest part of my day is is when I go out to look for some casual job of carrying stones in a stone quarry nearby and I get paid in the evening,then I am happy as I can afford to buy food for my family.
