What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
We are planning to construct a pit latrine because we are currently using our neighbour's, build two houses for our grown up children, sink a borehole because we suffer a lot during drought and use the rest of the funds on my children's secondary school education.

My proudest achievement is that I have educated my daughter who currently has a certificate in education.

The happiest part of my day is in the morning when I wake up well and able to engage in my daily activities.
