What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to pay school fees for my children, I have four children in secondary school, one child in the university and another one in a polytechnic college, they all need fees and these transfers will really assist me.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is being able to feed my family and educating them up to various levels of schooling, this has been possible only because I am a good farmer and whenever I sell my produce I usually save the profits.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face right now is lack of enough money to cater for my family's basic needs, my dependants are many and my income is not sufficient to cater for all their needs, this often means that quite a few of them are sent home from school due to lack of school fees.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning when I wake up and I am able to prepare breakfast for my children. It makes me very happy to be able to send my children off to school when they are satisfied.
