What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to spend the money on improving the condition of my house by cementing the walls and floor and also reinforcing the roof with more material. I am also looking forward to purchasing some more household items like chairs and beds. Since I have not been able to get a lot of money from my garden produce to make my home better, this will be my opportunity.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement was giving birth to my four children and bringing them up well , and now they are all well married and having good families.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The loss of my husband was my biggest hardship I've faced in my life because it became challenging raising my children alone.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I don't have that part of the day when I am happiest because they are all the same to me.
