What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to build a toilet, pay school fees for my children, enlarge my house and buy oxen which will be used for ploughing our farm.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievements are buying chairs for my house. The money we used to buy the chairs came from the sale of tomatoes we grew in our farm. I am also proud that I have managed to educate my children, some of whom have reached up to form four.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I have is lack of a steady source of income to assist in meeting our basic needs.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of the day is in the evening. My husband is a fisherman and when I see him return in the evening then I am assured that nothing dangerous occurred when they were fishing.
