What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
Our first plan is to use part of the transfer to build a bigger house, because this one is small, and also in a bad condition. Secondly, we intend to use another part of the transfer to buy two bulls that we intend to use in collaboration with other villagers to plough our farms, for food security. Lastly, we plan to use the remaining amount to boost the stock of my wife's business of selling ropes.

Having built this our house, and established this our home, is the achievement we are very proud of is.

The happiest part of my day is in the mornings, when I'm preparing breakfast for my family.
