Vincent

"I plan to spend my transfer on improving farming. I do vegetable farming but during dry seasons I faced the challenge of watering the farm. I am going to buy a water pump so that I keep constant farming and supply of vegetables to broaden my income. My crop production will increase and I supply nearby schools and nearby markets. I believe that my living condition will improve."
