I am planning to buy cement, sand, iron roofing sheets, nails and timber which I will use to renovate my house. The remaining transfers will be used to buy household items like cushions for my chairs, a mattress and beddings, finally if there are any funds remaining I plan to buy a dairy cow or an ox.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is having struggled and managed to educate my son up to secondary school level, he is due finish his form four class. It was not an easy task because I had to really save money that I was paid as a herdswoman, which was not much.
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 buy some oxen and a ploughing machine. I normally till my farm by hand but this is not very efficient nor profitable.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning if I wake up and I am able to go to work. This means that at the end of the day I am assured of a meal and this makes me very happy.
