What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I plan to invest in business, renovate my house and to rent land for farming during planting seasons.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
The achievement am proudest of is raising my kids. I find joy in being there for them since their father died. I work hard to ensure they have food, clothing and shelter.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I face is lack of a sustainable income source. I totally rely on casual jobs which pay so little.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is mid morning when doing house chores like washing utensils, clothes and cooking lunch for the kids.
