What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I plan to buy a water tank of 20,000 litres for rainwater harvesting. This will be helpful to me during dry season since this area is water stressed. I also plan to use part of the transfer to boost my business so as to increase profit margin.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement has been being able to build iron roofed house. This was after saving money from my small kiosk for a whole year. Nowadays am not worried of because my roof is not leaking as before and am proud of that.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest difficulty that I have faced in my life was when I dropped out of school. There wasn't money for my school fees and nobody wanted to support me. I was forced to drop out of school. It was painful to me.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My happiest part of the day is in the evening when I manage to get profit from my business. It's my favourite because I can use part of the profit to buy food for my family and this makes me happy.
