What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to plaster my house so as to prevent insects and other dangerous animals like snakes from residing inside the cracks on the mud walls. I also plan to use part of my transfer on my daughter's college education.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is that I am a hard working woman who does not depend entirely on her husband. Through my small savings in my merry go round group, I have built my kitchen and acquired livestock .
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I face in my life is lack of sufficient finances to feed, clothe, and educate my children because I have no proper source of income.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the afternoon when I am at the market selling my products and interacting with different people. Being with people make me forget my problems.
