What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to invest in farming by purchasing four bulls for ploughing and one dairy cow so as to increase my level of income. I also plan to plaster my house so that it is strong and presentable and buy other household furniture such as chairs because I own none currently.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is that I have managed to feed my children by selling firewood and sisal twine in our local market.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I face in life is that I lack sufficient finances to educate my children. I have no proper source of income and the little I earn is not even enough for food. I have a son who dropped out of primary school due to lack of money.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the evening when I am at home making sisal twine as it's one of my main source of income.
