"I have been able to educate my two daughters all through their secondary education. This is one of the greatest achievements that am really proud of."

"The proudest achievement in my life is when I got good harvest last year.This enabled me live a sustainable life with my family."

"The biggest hardship I have faced in life is lack of finances by my parents to pay for my school fees on time.This affects my performance due especially when I miss classes."

"The achievement that i am proud of is starting my own charcoal production and selling business. The income has enabled me to assist my mother tremendously in taking care my siblings and other household needs. "

"The biggest hardship that i have faced is that of my house nearly collapsing two years ago due to the heavy rains that were being experienced in our village. The damage was so severe such that i could not live in it anymore and i was left with no option but to seek for shelter in my brother's house as i sought for finances to rebuild a new structure."

"The biggest hardship I have faced in life is late payment of school fees by my struggling father hence affecting my productivity in school since I have to miss classes."

"The biggest hardship i have faced in my life was when i separated from my husband three years ago since we had no peace in the marriage. I decided to come back home but the worst happened; my father was not in good health and i had to struggle hard to cater for his medication. This was too much for me and i ended up being diagnosed with pressure and mental sickness. I thank God that my father's health and mine too has greatly improved. Much regards goes to Give directly since we will use part of the money we get for our medication."

"I added more iron sheets worth 15,000 KES. I as well bought a cow at 18,000 KES, I paid labor worth 12,000 KES. The remaining amount I spent on household expenses such as food and clothing."

"I spent the transfer I received to building materials to build to a new house as I did not have a house and the rest I bought seats."

"Not long ago, together with my family, I was in a terrible state(financially). We could eat once or go hungry a whole day. Luckily my husband later got a job as I also did casual jobs to ensure that my family's needs are met. I worked tirelessly everyday so that I could support him and for me this is the greatest achievement I am proudest of."
