What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to buy materials which will be used to build a better house for my family and also pay school fees for my children who are in secondary schools.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is having managed to save money that I get from my small business, with these savings I have been able to educate most of my children up to secondary school level.
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 my child who is almost finishing her secondary school education, she is always being sent away from school because of fee arrears, I fear that she might have to defer her studies.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the evening when I am relaxing after a hectic day, I usually relax with my family and we chat, this makes me very happy.
