What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to pay school fees for my child who is in secondary school with the first transfer. The second transfer I will use to buy a few cows to rear. The rest of the money I will use to buy materials to be used to build a structure for my hotel business, as currently it is situated under a tree at the lakeside.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is having saved my earnings from casual jobs at the lakeside and finally managed to start my hotel business which is flourishing.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I have is lack of enough money to be able to fully pay school fees for my child who is in secondary school, thus she risks being sent home from school.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is around midday, this is because my other children come home for lunch and we cook lunch and spend time together as a family.
