What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to spend my transfer on buying beddings, plaster my house and also buy solar for more light in the house because the fuel lantern can easily cause fire out break.

The achievement I am proudest of are the coffee plants we grew with my late husband. These coffee plants have taken care of my basic needs like paraffin, soap and many others.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I have faced in my life was when i failed to educate my children. This still hurts me up to now because they are many but they are not really helping me. Secondly loosing my husband also hurt me.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning when I get to see the light because some night i do not even have paraffin to provide light for me in the night.
