What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to spend my transfer on paying school fees for my child who is in secondary school, I will buy iron sheets so that I can build my own house and the remaining transfer I will use to buy a cow and a sheep.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
The achievement I am proudest of is that I have been able to plough my farm and I hope that my children will have food to eat when we harvest the crops.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face in my life is paying for house rent and school fees for my children is a difficult task as we don't have a stable source of income.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is when I go to the market to sell some vegetables, I feel happy because I can have some cash that we can spend at home even when my husband comes in the evening without anything.
