What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I would like to build a larger house because I am sharing this small one with my five children.I would like to construct a pit latrine since the one I have been using is my neighbour's and it's also far away.Lastly I would like to spend the rest on food.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
I would say,being able to raise,provide and send my children to school single handedly after my spouse passed away is the proudest achievement I can talk of.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My biggest hardship has been to buy food on a daily basis.This is because the income I'm getting is too small that I cannot even budget for food properly.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the evening when all my children are around and we share stories as we learn from each other.
