What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
We plan to spend the transfer to pay school fees for my child in high school. We also plan to spend the transfer to start a business which can help us get income to support the needs of the family. We also plan to spend the transfer to buy farm inputs like the fertilizers and hybrid seeds which we will use for agriculture.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
Our proudest achievement is that we have been able to build a house for our family. We were able to do this from the savings that we made before our business closed down.

The biggest hardship that I have faced in life is when my husband was involved in a road accident which crippled him. My business later closed down because we used a lot of money for his treatment. We are currently facing hard times being that we don't have a stable source of income.

The happiest part of my day is in the evening when am having dinner with my family. I feel very happy because my family is the source of my pride.
