"In the year 2015 I harvested two bags of beans which I sold and started a business with the proceeds. The business assisted me greatly it enabled me to fend for my family, this is the achievement I am proudest of."

"My life is now more different since i live and sleep comfortably in my house, i am even more confident around my peers because at least i can look after my family well. i am also certain that we won't lack any food for my family."

"The biggest hardship I ever faced is when I almost dropped out of school due to lack of school fees, my parents are peasant farmers, they were not able to pay it, they had to borrow loan from my neighbors to settle out my school fee."

"The biggest hardship I have ever faced in life is lack of school fees, sometimes I used to be sent back home due to fee arrears. Since my parents didn't see the value of educating me as a girl, I had to do casual work during holidays and weekend so as to raise money to pay my schools fee."

"The achievement I am proud of is being able to provide education for my children even though I struggled alot to pay the school fee since I only depend on subsistence farming as a source of income. So far, four of them are done with their college education and they have secured jobs. As a parent, feel that is the best thing you can offer to your children."

"The biggest hardship I have ever faced is when I was starting my family, I had nothing of my own, I was depending on my parents to provide food for us and I felt like I failed as a household head."

"My biggest hardship I have faced in my current life is illness. Due to this I have not been able to do my daily activities. Because of severe pain, I have had sleepless nights."

"My proudest achievement would be establishing my own home in January this year. I am now able to freely implement my projects and make decisions without having to seek permission from my parents. I have freedom to develop."

"When i was in form three,i was sent home from school to collect fees.Back home,my parents were unable to raise it hence i had to drop out of school for one year.I was so depressed and in that period i became pregnant and gave birth to a baby boy.Even though i eventually went back to complete my studies,my family has never treated me very well since i had my baby"

"The biggest hardship that am facing is raising school fees for my children.I took a loan to pay for their fees and sometimes when the farm does not yield enough it becomes difficult to pay the loan as well as paying school fees."
