What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
We plan to buy a ploughing machine for farming, buy furniture and other household items that we lack and to pay school fees.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
The achievement am proudest of is building this house. I used to live in a grass thatched house. I am proud because it's a bigger space and its tin roofed.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship we face is lack of finances to invest in farming. We have the land but we lack man power and incentives.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the evening when having dinner with my husband and kids. We get to bond and share a lot.
