What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to spend my transfer on buying furniture for my house, we will spend the second transfer on buying a motorcycle as the one my husband uses is a hired one and the remaining transfer we will spend it on building a bigger house as we plan to buy twenty iron sheets and cement.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
The achievement that I am proudest of is that we were able to build our own house and have some furniture in it even though they are few. This we were able to do with the cash that my husband saved while doing motorcycle transport business.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face in my life is that our income is very low and the motorcycle my husband is using belongs to someone else and most of the times he comes home without any money hence forcing us to go a day without a meal.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is when I wake up in the morning and I am able to prepare breakfast for my family so that they can start their day.
