What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent the whole of my third transfer on construction of a new house using the materials that I had already purchased using my previous transfers. I previously lived in a two roomed house which seemed to small to accommodate the entire family. I had longed for a spacious house for so long but due to extreme poverty, I could not achieve this dream. I really don't know how to appreciate this organisation for transformation it bought to my family. I so happy and wishes GD an everlasting life.

What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to buy sand, cement, timber, round poles, nails and iron roofing sheets which I will use to build a better house for my family.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is having started a small business selling sisal ropes and woven baskets, this business enabled me to buy some sheep which have given birth to several lambs.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face right now is lack of enough money to pay school fees for my children who are in secondary and primary schools. If I am unable to raise the required fees some of them might have to defer their studies.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning if I wake up and I am not sick. I usually get to thank the Lord in my prayers and this makes me very happy.
