"In the year 2009, we decided as a family to invest in tomatoes farming after maize failed to give us profits for three consecutive years. To our surprise, we made a very huge harvest which saw us make a lot of profits. It was then that we were able to build this house we are living in and even bought a dairy cow for the family. This was a great achievement to our family which I will never forget."
