What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to use my transfer on poultry farming because I believe that I will be able to generate some good income as it's a lucrative business. I plan to also buy two bulls for ploughing to expand my farming business because it's my main source of income.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement in life is that I am a hard working woman who ensures that her family eat well.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I face in life is lack of sufficient finances to feed, educate and cloth my family. My children stay out of school very frequently as what I earn is very little to support them and farming is very unpredictable in this area.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning when I am preparing my children to go to school knowing that they have a chance to prosper in future if they get good education.
