What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
We plan to spend the transfer to pay school fees for our children at the University and high school. We also plan to spend the transfer to buy farm inputs to grow crops to boost our food production. We also plan to spend the transfer to renovate the house.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
Our proudest achievement is that we have been able to build a house for our family.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I have faced in life is when I lost the job we I had. I had to look for other ways of earning a living like farming and charcoal making. This hasn't been reliable and so life has been difficult at times.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the evening when am busy making charcoal. I feel very happy because I do get income from it.
