What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to spend my transfer on building a house as the house that we currently stay in is very small, we will spend part of the cash to pay for my dowry and the remaining amount we will spend on buying a motorcycle that my husband can use for taxi business.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
The achievement I am proudest of is that we were able to build our house using some cash that my husband had saved from his casual jobs including riding motorcycle which is hired.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face in my life is that we have difficulty in getting food to eat and in paying school fees for our kids as my husband only depends on hired motorcycle in order for us to get some cash to spend at home.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is when I wake up in the morning to go our farm so that I can do some tilling, I am happy to observe that I have managed to do a good job and the crops are going to grow well.
