What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to spend my transfer on buying items that I lack in my house like chairs, a table and a bed. I will spend part of the transfer to build a bigger house as the one I stay in is very small and I will also buy a cow and a goat so that I can keep them for milk and meat. I will use the remaining amount to start a small business of selling clothes so that I can support my family using the income that the business will generate.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
The achievement I am proudest of is that I have been able to save cash from my business that enabled me to buy a water tank that I use to harvest water when it rains.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face in my life is in terms of taking care of my children and myself this is because I don't have a stable income that can afford to keep my kids in school, buy food for them and the clothes they wear as I am a widow and life is difficult when you stay alone with nobody to assist you.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is when I wake up in the morning and my kids have also woken up feeling ok,I feel happy as this gives me strength to know that I have those who look up to me as a mother.
