Selina
enrolled.
"In the year 2010, our maize plantation was infested by armyworms which greatly reduced the yield yet farming has been our source of food and income. We normally pay School fees and other household expenses from the produce but now I have to work extra hard as a casual labourer in order to meet our daily needs and other expenses and that has been the biggest hardship I have faced in life."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is the peace of mind I have nowadays since I received the money. I no longer get worried when I receive threats from my employer and given that it is a casual job and I can loose it anytime. I have some money to keep me going."
