What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to start a business that involves buying and selling cereals like maize, beans, rice, green grams and groundnuts. I will also buy and sell fast moving consumer goods.

My proudest achievement is having worked in a factory making clothes and I was able to save my earnings, these I then used to educate my children.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face right now is lack of enough money to pay school fees for my children who are in primary school.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is around midday when my children come home from school, we often then have lunch together and it makes me very happy when I am spending time with them.
