I am planning to use my transfer to boost my farming business by buying four bulls for ploughing and two dairy cows, plaster my house so that it lasts long because the soil we use around here is of bad quality and is not good for smearing, and use the remaining on my son's secondary school fee.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is that I am a hard working woman. I have dedicated my time and energy to ensure my family gets basic needs through farming and engaging in casual jobs.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My biggest hardship is poverty. I don't have a proper source of income. I'd love to educate my children so that they turn out to be great people in the society and not thieves and the only way to achieve this is when I have financial resources which at the moment I don't.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is mid morning when interacting with people in my village because being around people makes me forget my problems.
