What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
We are planning to pay school fees for our child who is in university and the remainder of the transfers we will use to buy materials to be used to build ourselves another house.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is having struggled to save our meagre income and educated my younger brother up to university level. We have also managed to start building another house and are in the process of completing it.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I have is lack of enough money. We have more than ten children to take care of and this is a difficult task, some are frequently sent home from school due to lack of school fees.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning when I wake and find all my family members are alive and well.
