"The biggest hardship that I have faced in life is inadequate water. I had to work long distance to fetch water for domestic use. I take like half a day to get water. This happens mostly during dry season."

"My proudest achievement is that I have managed to build iron roofed house. In the past I used to stay in a grass thatched house which used to leak. After saving money for a period of time, I managed to achieve that."
