What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I'm planning to spend my transfer on school fees for my children, some who are in secondary school, and others in primary school. I am also planning to buy some iron sheets which I will use to put up a kitchen that can also serve as a sleeping area for my children.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
The achievement I am proudest of is feeding my family with the little money I am able to get from making and selling sisal ropes.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I have faced in my life is lack of enough food for my family because I mainly depend on selling sisal ropes, but this cannot adequately sustain all of us in the family.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the evening when I am preparing dinner and the children are helping me in the kitchen.
