What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to buy cement, timber, nails and iron roofing sheets which I will use to build a better house for my family.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is having completed my secondary school education. It was not an easy task clearing my high school education because my parents were not well off, this meant that I often had to do without many items that my schoolmates had.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face right now is lack of enough money to pay school fees for our children. I depend on my spouse for everything and as we have four children to take care of this puts a strain on his income.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the evening when my spouse comes home, we often chat and relax together, this makes me very happy.
