What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to inject more capital into my business, I sell second hand clothes and I want to increase the quantity of clothes that I buy from wholesalers.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is having managed to save profits from my second hand clothes business and eventually buying a lot of household items like plastic chairs and utensils.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face right now is how to till my farms, I have no ploughing machine and oxen so I have to hire these, this is very expensive and increases the cost of production.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the evening when I am from the market where I sell my clothes. I often relax as I count the day's profit and if I have broken even I am usually very happy.
