What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to build another house since this one is old and leaks alot whenever it rains. I'm also planning to spend the remaining amount on school fees since I have a son who is in secondary school and has not cleared his fee balance.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement was that I was able to save some money in my account to cater for my children's school fees and upkeep.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My biggest hardship is lack of access to a proper source of income that can enable me provide adequately for my family.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning because it is the time I wake up fresh and with a lot of energy to till my land inorder to get food.
