What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to spend my transfer on renovating my house by buying ten bags of cement that will be used to plaster it, I will buy wire mesh that I will use to fence my home so that it can prevent trespassing, I will use part of it to pay school fees for my three children who are in Nanga secondary school and the remaining amount I will use to buy a dairy cow that I can keep for milk.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
The achievement I am proudest of is that we saved some cash with my husband in our local saving and lending scheme called SILK and we used the cash to buy a cow that we now have in our home.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face in my life is in terms of getting school fees for our children as we have three children in school and they all need school fees and two others who are expecting to join college but we don't have the money.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is when I go to my farm in the morning to weed my maize,I am happy to see the crops growing as they will provide food for my family.
