"The achievement I am proudest of is the fact that I have managed to join university as a part-time student and I am in third year. I am privileged my parents are able to meet my education expenses through the proceeds from farming. I have been desiring to further my education and I can say I am almost there and I thank God for that."

"My biggest hardship is inadequacy of money to invest in education."

"My father passed on while I had just started my secondary education. Everything came to a stand still and I thought I would never advance my education as I had always desired. I had to struggle on my own to ensure that my education was not cut short. I never imagined that I would go to college and up to this far is God."

"I am proud of my first born child, her excellent performance in her education makes me work hard on my farming to keep her in school, by ensuring that I pay her school fee on time."

"After attaining Diploma in Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) in the year 2015, I have been having some contracts to teach in local schools. Accordingly, I build-up savings from the income I acquire - and that (savings) enabled me to buy a cow that has been the main source of milk for my family. Hence, I feel that managing to buy a cow is the greatest achievement I have in life."

"The biggest hardship I have ever faced in my life is that I lacked some finances to educate myself. As a result, I had to defer my education so that I could plant some seasonal crops such as cabbages and tomatoes and used the proceeds to pay for my school fees."

"My education was cut short before I could proceed to my secondary education. I had always thought of a tough life a head after dropping out in primary school. I however got an opportunity to train as a driver. After completing this short course, I embarked on a serious mission of looking for a driving license. I recently acquired one and I really feel proud that I can now get some form of employment too."

"Last year, I had a problem of huge fees arears in school. This happened because in that year we made huge losses in our farm which had always assisted us in clearing the balances in time. I had to stay home for close to one month and I felt my dream of getting an education would be shattered."

"My biggest achievement is that despite my humble background, I have managed to educate my child until she has completed her secondary education. I regard this as an achievement because I have been doing odd jobs so that I can educate her and she has worked hard in her studies and will be joining university to further her education"

"The biggest hardship that I have ever faced in my life is that I almost dropped out of my University education back in 2014 due to lack finances. This is because it was hard for my parents to raise some fees and as a result, we had to sell some land so that I could finance my education."
