What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to start rearing free range chicken so I will need to buy some hens and build a chicken coop, I also intend to pay dowry so that my in laws respect me.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is having worked as a casual worker for many years and after diligently saving my earnings for a while I was able to buy a sheep.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face right now is lack of a sustainable source of income.I am a casual worker and jobs are often difficult to get so quite often I lack money to adequately cater for my families basic needs.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is often in the evening when I have successfully completed a job, this means that I can feed my family because I have some money in my pocket.
