What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to buy sand, cement, timber, round poles, nails and iron roofing sheets which I will use to build a pit latrine and plaster my house. The remaining transfers will be used to start a small hairdressing business.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is having given birth to two lovely children who are my pride and joy.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face right now is lack of a sustainable source of income, ever since my spouse died I have been the sole breadwinner. I have school fees to pay and if I am unable to raise the required money my children might drop out of school.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is around midday when I meet my neighbours and friends, we usually chat and this makes me feel relaxed.
