What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to spend my transfer on paying school fees for my two children who are in secondary school and six of my children who are in primary school, I will use part of the transfer on building a toilet and also to building a bigger house as my family is large in size. I will also use the transfer on expanding my business by buying and selling farm seeds to the local farmers.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
The achievement I am proudest of is that when my husband died, he left me without a house in the village but I managed to save the little cash that I got from my business which I used to build my house.

The biggest hardship that I face in my life is that my income currently is very small and I find it difficult to raise school fees for my kids and also buying food for them with the little cash is a challenge.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is when I go to the market in the morning to sell seeds like maize,beans and pawpaw in the market for farmers to buy,I feel happy if I manage to sell some and I come back home with cash that can be used to buy food for my family.
