What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to buy sand, cement, timber, round poles, nails, wire mesh, cedar poles and iron roofing sheets which we will use to establish our own homestead, we will begin by fencing the piece of land and then build a better house for our family.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is having started a small business selling groceries and I was able to feed my family with the profits that I used to get at the end of the day.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face right now is lack of a sustainable source of income for myself, I am currently out of work and depend entirely on my spouse. He is just a casual worker and his income is not that much so my family hardly manages to eat proper meals and have access to other basic needs.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the evening when I am spending time with my family and friends. I usually prepare dinner for my family and as they wait for it to be ready we chat about various issues affecting our family.
