What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
We are planning to buy sand, cement, timber, round poles, nails and iron roofing sheets which I will use to build a better house for my family. I will also use part of the transfers to buy some oxen and a ploughing machine which I will use to till my farm.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is having been able to make clay pots for quite some time and managed to feed my family after selling them at the local market.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face right now is lack of enough money to pay school fees for my children who are in primary school, if I am unable to raise the required fees they may drop out of school.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the evening after working all day. I usually relax as I prepare dinner for my family.
