Being diploma holder, married with one kid, working as a sheppard away from home .

During the day, when i go grazing because i spend time doing what i enjoy most which is livestock farming
What does receiving this money mean to you?
I have a passion for livestock keeping but i dont have the means to keep them. On the other hand, i work as a shephard far away from home as means of provision for my family and my wife sells small fish (omena) for a living. Clearly, this is not enough. I will use the money to buy my own livestock, expand my wife's business and also stay at home constantly and take care of my livestock rather than working away from home
