"The biggest hardship that I currently face right now is lack of a sustainable source of income. I live with my grandmother who is quite old and therefore I am the sole breadwinner,thus whenever I am unable to get work we usually have very little to eat."

"The achievement I am proudest of is the fact that I managed to build a small house and started my own family. Nothing makes me feel like a man than depending on myself. In 2013, I was given a small piece of land by my parents and through my savings working as a casual labourer, I managed to move from home and started my own family."

"The biggest achievement that I am proudest of is my farm. I have over the years relied on my farming because it has been a constant source of income for me and my family. From the proceeds I get after selling the crops in my farm, my children are able to feed, get clothes and do not depend on my neighbors."
