"The biggest hardship I have faced is unstable source of income since my business collapsed due to lack of sufficient funds. I therefore have to fully depend on my husband and this has created a rift in our relationship since he is also a habitual drinker."

"My greatest achievement was harvesting two bags of maize last season which was the best I have ever produced from my farm. This came as a result of using local manure on my farm. With the two bags, I was able to consume one bag with my family and sold the other bag to pay my child's secondary school fees."

"My greatest achievement was harvesting 8 bags of maize in 2016. The good harvest came as a result of using the local manure on my farm. I was able to sell part of the produce to pay my second wife's dowry and my family's health also improved because they ate well without missing a meal."
