What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent the larger portion of my third transfer on clearing school for my two children who were in their final year in high school because I did not have anywhere else to get the money and bought three bags of maize that sustained my large family for sometime. The remaining amount went on clothes and shoes for everyone staying in my house and added more utensils.

What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to use my transfer to pay school fee for my three children in high school and two in college. I'll set aside some little money to boost my basket weaving business so I can generate more income.

My proudest achievement is that I have managed to feed and clothe my children by doing small businesses.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
