"The achievement am proudest of is building this house. It took us long to finish since we were totally depending on our savings. I am happy because now it's habitable, even though there's more to be done."

"The biggest hardship that I face right now is lack of enough money to build a house for myself. My spouse chased me away from home and ever since I have been living in my sister in law's house, this is humiliating and dehumanising as she is my late brother's wife and I should be the one taking care of her."
