What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I plan to spend the transfer to pay school fees for my two children in high school. I also plan to spend the transfer to plaster my house and install windows. I also plan to spend the transfer on foodstuff.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is that I have managed to build a house for my family. My husband died more than ten years ago after only five years of our marriage leaving me in a grass thatched house and with no assets to hold on to. I struggled and built my house.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I have faced in life is when my husband died. My brother in-law discriminated me and wanted to chase me away saying that I am not part of their family. It was a demoralizing thing to have happened to me. As enlightened woman I had to stand my ground and fought him by law being that I know my rights.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the evening when am having dinner with my children. I feel happy being with them because am their mother and also act as their father.
