What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent most part of the third transfer on buying a cow for milking,It was sad that when I went to buy milk, sometimes they could accept selling you their milk. So I thought of getting my own cow for milk production purposes. The remaining amount I spent on paying school fees for my children in primary school and a sack of corn for my family consumes.

We intend to use the transfer on Maize farming by buying seeds and fertilizer, we also plan to construct a toilet and lastly buy two cows to raise.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
The achievement I'm proudest of is owning our current house, our previous house was built using six iron sheets making it very small for the family but the current one is spacious enough.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Our biggest hardship is on making ends meet and paying school fees for our children in primary school.Not having a toilet is also a challenge to us.The income from farming is seasonal and only enough for daily support.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning after taking breakfast.During this time I'm always busy weaving ropes out of sisal which I sell out and uses the cash to buy food for my family . This is my other hustle to suppliment farming.
