What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to plaster my house because the soil we have around here is of bad quality and it's expensive to repair it all the time. I am also planning to use my transfer on my daughter's education and start a small business where I can sell household commodities to my neighbour's and earn some income.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
I am proudest that today I live in an iron roofed house. I lived in a grass thatched house for twelve years but through farming I managed to change my status.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My biggest hardship is lack of sufficient funds to educate my children because we have no reliable source of income.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is at lunch time when my children come back from school to take lunch. It makes me happy as a parent that I am taking good care of them.
