What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I plan to spend the transfer to pay school fees for my child in high school. I also plan to spend the transfer to build a kitchen where my children can also use for sleeping. I also plan to spend the transfer to buy a cow that will provide me with milk.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is that I have been able to buy a cow through the little income that I get from making charcoal. I hope that it will matures up and give birth to a calf.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I have faced in life is that I don't have a reliable source of income. This has made life to be hard to my family at times. Satisfying some of our basic needs like getting enough clothing has been a big problem.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the evening when I manage to sell all the charcoal that I have made.
