What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to buy materials to be used to construct a toilet and use the rest of the transfers to pay for a driving course for my orphaned granddon. I am also planning to pay school fees for orphaned daughter who is in secondary school.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is having saved enough money after selling sorghum I harvested from my farm and buying a goat and a ram.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I face is that my husband died a long time ago and I also take care of many orphans, this is a very heavy burden on me as I have no sustainable source of income.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the evening after my grandchildren are from school. As we sit down together and have a meal I always feel happy.
