What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to carry out wiring in my house, I recently connected electricity to my house but I am still unable to use the power as I have no wiring system. I will also use part of the transfers to buy iron roofing sheets which I will use to replace the ones covering my house.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is is having saved money that I got from farming and was able to educate my son up to secondary school level, he later managed to get a government job. Sadly, he died later on.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face right now is ill health. I am an elderly person and this means that I have to constantly rely on my children to assist me with health bills, this often puts a strain on their finances.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning when if I wake up when I am not feeling ill.
