"I raise livestock like goats, cows, chicken and sheep to earn a living although in small quantity. In the coming year and beyond, I will be adding more livestock. Since I still have young children in Primary School, I will be practising subsistence farming like maize, beans, potatoes, cabbages and onions. I will be selling some of the farm produce to get money for my kids school fees. Currently their performance have been affected by them missing classes due to lack of school fees. I am looking forward to have a long term saving plan which will be catering for the school fees till end of college. I will be topping it up with the profits from the groceries shop which I have been running since I got my last transfers."
