What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to use my transfer to set up a second hand clothes business because if done well it has good returns, sell other basic household products to my neighbours because we live very far from the shopping center and plaster my house to save me time and energy for smearing.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
I am proudest that my family is able to eat and go to school by merely selling firewood.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I face in life is poverty. I have no proper source of income and no longer receive assistance from my parents as before.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning when I embark on my daily activities to raise income for my family.
