What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to buy materials, which will be used to repair my house, pay school fees for my daughter who is in standard eight and finally buy some livestock that I can rear.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is having worked hard at spinning sisal fibres into ropes and after selling them I managed to save the money and paid school fees for my children who are in primary school.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face currently is lack of a sustainable source of income and this means paying school fees for my children is difficult even my daughter had to repeat class eight because I lacked money to pay for her secondary school fees.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is around midday when my children arrive home from school, they usually find lunch ready and we eat together, this makes me very happy.
