What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
We would like to establish our home because we feel that it is a good idea to move out of my father's compound. We would like to spend the rest on payment of bride price.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement was getting married to a responsible man and raising children.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Our biggest hardship is that we don't have a reliable source of income, hence we find it difficult to raise money to buy food for our children.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My happiest part of the day is in the afternoon because it is the time I weave baskets that I take to the market inorder to make money.
