"The achievement that I am proudest of is chicken farming. I have 5 chicken that provide me with around 10 eggs every week that I sell at ksh 10 each. The income that I get from the eggs goes along way in making sure that my family is well taken care of in terms of basic needs like having enough enough food to feed my children."

"When my husband and I was still young, we were very engaged in maize farming so we decided to lease a farm to plant maize. After a few years , tea was introduced in my area and I because we werent sure about the tea farming ,we decided to put faith in it and plant it in the larger part of the farm. Tea farming has really helped me and family especially in supporting our children to get better education now that five of my children have college education . Tea farming is my proudest achievement so far."

"The biggest hardship i have faced in my life is a financial challenge.Sometimes i need to farm but i dont have finance and this challenges me a lot because i have to plant cabbage and maintain in order to have a good market.I see this as a challenge since i may miss the real season/period of planting which will affect my income."

"Since my husband left us, it has been a big challenge to me and the kids, since bringing up the children alone as a widower is tough. I have always worked hard to ensure all their needs are fulfilled especially education, food and clothing's. Seeing my children grown to be what they are at the moment makes me feel proud of myself."
