What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to spend my transfer on starting a business of selling clothes, I will also buy a dairy cow and build a kitchen for my children to use. I will also use the remaining amount to pay for college fees for my child who is in first year.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
The achievement I am proudest of is that my husband died six years ago and I struggled to make ends meet and I entered a savings and lending scheme which enabled me to support my family and also got a loan that I used to build my current house.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face in my life is in terms of school fees for my children as my child who is in college is at home due to lack of fees.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is when my children come back at home during holidays and I prepare for them meals in the evening, this makes me happy as I can see and interact with them.
