What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to spend my transfer on paying school fees balance for my daughter who sat for her secondary school exams so that we can collect her certificate, I will pay school fees for my son who is in secondary school so that he stops coming home all the time due to lack of fees and the remaining amount I will spend on renovating my house by buying some bags of cement that will be used in plastering the walls.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
The achievement that I am proudest of is that we have struggled to pay school fees for my children and enabled them to remain in school despite my low income.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face in my life is that getting water is a challenge for us and we have to walk for hours before we get clean water.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is when I go to my farm in the morning to plough it. This makes me happy as I am able to plough my land and plant crops that we will eventually consume at home.
