What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to build my own homestead and pay school fees for my sons who are in secondary schools
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is having worked as a casual worker for many years and managed to educate my child until she completed secondary school, it was very difficult to save my wages but ultimately it was worth the effort.
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 children. My spouse died a while back and this meant that I became the sole breadwinner, I have no steady job and this often means that I cannot afford everything my family needs.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning because the Lord has blessed me and let me live another day.
