What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to use my transfer to build a new house because my house is old and the floor damaged due to frequent floods in the area.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is that I have household furniture and livestock that I acquired through small savings.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I face in life is lack of sufficient funds to educate my children. I survive on farming and the previous seasons have not yielded good produce.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning when I wake up and I know that God has allowed me to live, see a new day and be able to work and earn some income.
