"My proudest achievement is that I became number one in my class 8 exams at Nyabeda primary and joined Sega girls where I also performed well in my exams. This made me proud as I managed to get some sponsors who paid for my education due to the fact that I was the only girl who performed well."

"The biggest hardship I have faced in my life is the fact my maize plantion was infested by unknown disease and thus reduced on its yield. We depend on maize to sustain our family and since it was infested by unknown disease eight years ago, I have been unable to meet most of my family's needs such as education."

"The biggest hardship I have faced in my life is struggling to pay school fees for my children.At one time my son who has now completed secondary education stayed at home for long due to lack of school fees.It called for the intervention of one of our clansmen who decided to talk to the school principal for my son to continue with his studies in a nearby day school as I looked for school fees."
