What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to spend my transfer on buying a steel door for my house using the first transfer. I will spend the second transfer on buying one dairy cow and a bull and the remaining part of the second transfer I will spend on paying school fees for my grandchild and my daughter who are in primary school. The final transfer I will also spend on paying the remaining school fees for the kids and I will add another bull that I will use in ploughing my farm.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
The achievement that I am proudest of is that I was able to buy two cows using cash that I got from the sale of my farm produce.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face in my life is that I am sick (I have high blood pressure) and this has really affected me as I am not able to lead a normal life and go to my farm as I used to in the past.
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 plough my ground nuts,maize and wheat. This makes me happy as when am sick am able to use the harvest in feeding my family and taking the rest to the market so that I can earn some money that we can spend at home.
