"The greatest achievement that I am proud of is the fact that I have managed to increase the size of land under cultivation. Initially I used to plant maize and beans on one acre of land and now I plant 2.25 acres. I managed to increase the size of land working as a casual labourer and that is what makes me proud."

"My greatest achievement is my dairy cow. It is an achievement because I had to work hard in tilling my farm and planting seasonal crops such as maize and beans which I later sold and used the proceeds to buy a cow. I am now able to provide milk for my children and also meet their needs because I sell some milk." (Campaign: UBI)

"My life was really difficult at first until my sister came to my rescue. My sister works with a loan lending organisation and she was moved by the toils and tribulations that I was going through in my life. Knowing that I had interest in bodaboda industry, she persuaded me into buying a bodaboda on loan. This bodaboda changed my life a lot. I struggled to pay back the loan in two years and my life has never been the same again. I consider this a great achievement but I equally have plans of purchasing another bodaboda." (Campaign: UBI)

"We are blessed as a family with seven children. I always had a desire of giving my family the best I could. With limited resources at my disposal, I struggled tooth and nail to feed my family and give my children the best in terms of education. Today, I am a proud father having educated all my seven children through secondary education and four of them have completed their university education. Nothing gives me sense of satisfaction and pride than this. I am a really proud father." (Campaign: UBI)

"I was raised up in a very humble background where it was really difficult even to make ends meet. Being the firstborn in a family of eight, I was able to persue my studies up to standard eight. I could not proceed to my secondary education since my parents could not afford to pay my school fees. From this experience , I developed a desire to make a difference in my life. I was blessed to have a family of my own and with the little income that I get, I have always been able to provide for my family. My children are in school and nothing would stop me from giving them the best. My family alone gives me a great sense of pride." (Campaign: UBI)

"The biggest hardship I have faced in my life is lack of land. We do not have anywhere to call home for our family and this limits our potential and what we can do to improve our livelihood. We are optimistic that we will acquire land soon and bring this problem to an end." (Campaign: UBI)
