What did you spend your second transfer on?
build a house
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference is that my son now has a house to sleep in. It is a big problem if someone do not have a house, my son had to walk along distance to find a place to sleep every evening which was hectic and not safe.

What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I plan to spend the transfer to pay school fees for two of my sons in high school.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is that I have worked hard and have managed to construct iron roofed house for my family. My husband passed on more that two decades ago and left me in a thatched house. I saved little money for several months and I was able to build the house.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I have faced in life is that I don't have a stable source of income that can enable me pay school fees for my children.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning when I wake up alive and am able to perform my duties.
