What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I plan to spend the transfer to pay school fees for two of my children in high school. I also plan to buy a small piece of land that I can use to build new home being that I currently have a smaller piece of land. I also plan to spend the transfer to build a bigger house to accommodate my big family.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is that I have been able to plaster the floor of my house. I manages this through the savings that I made through the sale of sisal ropes.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I have faced in life is that I don't have enough land which I can use to grow crops. It hasn't been easy getting food for the family and so I hard to embark on making sisal ropes and burning charcoal to make ends meet.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the evening when I manage to get customers who buy the sisal ropes that I make. I feel very happy because I am assured of getting food for my family.
