What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I plan to spend the transfer to construct my new house being that I currently stay in a rental house. I also plan to spend the transfer to buy a cow that would provide me with milk. I also plan to spend the transfer to buy household items like furniture and beddings.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is that I have struggled and managed to pay school fees for my siblings in primary school out of the meagre income that I get from the farm.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I have faced in life is when my parents died while we were still young and left us without any property to support us. Life has been harsh on our side and sometimes we go without having a meal.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My happiest part of the day is in the morning when am in the farm weeding. I feel happy because its my source of livelihood.
