What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I have planned to pay school fees for my three children who are in high school. I will also spare some money to expand my business.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is that I have managed to take my children through primary school and now they are in secondary school. It has not been easy since I struggle on my own by doing small business to educate them.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship was losing my husband and being left with very small children to take care of. He was our breadwinner and having to start a fresh was so difficult since I didn't have any source of income of my own.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is when I have food in my house,it gives me peace since I know my children will not go hungry.
