What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
My spouse and I are still thinking of ideas and what to prioritize and spend the money on.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is having joined a women's support group and used my accumulated savings to buy two goats unfortunately they died.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face currently is that we are two spouses and we all have children, our husbands income is what we depend on and this is sometimes not enough to enable us pay school fees for our children, so at times they have accumulated fee arrears and are sent away from school.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning, whenever I manage to wake up I always thank God that he has blessed me and this makes me very happy.
