What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to go back to college and pursue a diploma in HIV counselling and testing so as to be able to get a good job and share out financial responsibilities with my husband. I will use part of the money on school fee because my daughter is about to join high school.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is that I live in a nice semi permanent house that we built using our savings from casual work.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I face in life is that I lack a job and my spouse who is the sole breadwinner to the family earns very little from his job. My children are forced to attend public schools which perform very poorly since we can't afford private schools.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning when I set off for work. As a volunteer at a local health centre, I get to share and advice those living with HIV and that makes me very contented and happy.
