What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to buy a piece of land so that I can expand my farm. The remaining transfers will be used to pay dowry for my daughter in law.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is having worked as a casual worker for many years and after diligently saving my earnings for a while I was able to buy a goat.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face right now is hunger. My only source of food is my farm but it is too small to cater for my family.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning when I wake up because I get to spend time with my family as we pray.
