What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to buy iron roofing sheets which I will use to repair my current roof. I will also use part of the transfers to pay construction workers and buy sand and cement which I will use to renovate my house.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is having joined a women's support group and after saving for a while I was able to take a loan which I used to build my current house.
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 secondary schools, if I am unable to raise the required fees they may drop out of school.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning when I wake up, this is because I usually praise the Lord for blessing me and my family.
